Welcome! In this series, we’ll be discussing how to make the rookies in your unit or station house feel welcome. As firefighters and police officers, you understand the importance of being able to trust your coworkers. Bringing new people into the work family can be difficult, but here are some suggestions on how you can make it a little easier for rookies to join in.

The newcomers to your unit may also have a lot of questions. Remain patient and willing to help to prevent tension from developing early on.
Thanks for tuning in! Be sure to join us for part 2.
