We are looking for public safety employees who want to help people above and beyond our job descriptions.  We want only the best of the best.  First you must be a full time public safety employee.  You must be committed to raising money for local charities and increasing the bond of friendship between public safety forces.  All players must pay $250 in team dues for 2009.  You will also need to raise money through sponsorships or donations.  You must sell $100 worth of game tickets.  The dues, your donations and sponsorships will cover the cost of running our team.  All ticket money will go directly to our charity.

Players will be required to make practices, and must travel during the season.  We fully understand that you have jobs and families.  We will always say family comes first!  Family, work, FOOTBALL!!!

We will show the citizens of Central Ohio and the nation what great public safety employees are from Central Ohio.  We will make our community, and our families proud of the sacrifices that we make on the job, and of the sacrifices on the gridiron!
