Investing in a LOSAP program enables a Fire/EMS Chief to encourage Volunteers to attend more trainings, meetings and where they are needed the most at calls. By utilizing our department vesting spreadsheet and posting the departments performance for the month members can see what their calculated contribution will be. As their participation changes from month to month they will see their contribution change. If a volunteer first responder sees their potential contribution decrease because their attendance at trainings, meetings and calls drops then it will give them incentive to increase their attendance at trainings, meetings and calls to increase their contribution for the year.
