All 4x4 vehicle operators are required to have a 4x4 safety course and have their 4x4 registered, currently inspected, and insured.
All 4x4 operators are required to have a current state drivers license. All 4x4 searchers must graduate from a 16 hour 4x4 search course. The members of the BCWST Special Transportation division are the only 100% trained 4x4 search operators available for searches.
