Responsibilities

Reserve officers have the same powers, duties, and functions as set forth in state law or ordinance as regular full-time officers. Their primary duties are to assist the Patrol Division, though at times may assist other divisions during special needs of the department.

Operation

The program is directed by the Reserve Program Commander, who serves by appointment of the Chief of Police. The Commander may be a regular officer or retired regular officer of the department.

Training & Requirements

Reserve officers are required to complete mandatory certification training through CLEET. After completing the required certification process they must successfully complete the Field Training Program. The entire process can take up to a year.

Reserve officers are required to work a minimum of 10 hours a month. They are usually paired with a regular full-time officer, but may at the authorization of the Chief of Police be assigned as a solo unit.

Reserve officers are supplied a set of uniforms and equipment to perform their duties.
