RESERVE
OFFICER PROGRAM
The Reserve Program is comprised of men and
women who either aspire to be police officers or want to serve on the
front line. A Level I Reserve Officer must meet the same qualifications as
an entry-level police officer; a Level II Reserve Officer attends a
400-hour academy; and both must pass a physical agility test. After
completion, they are fully commissioned with the same authority as a
police officer while on duty. They are required to put in 16 hours per
month and to attend monthly training sessions, as well as maintain
proficiency in firearms, defensive tactics and patrol procedures. They
work with regular officers on patrol, are used for special enforcement,
and assist at many community events..
In 2006, three reserve officers volunteered
approximately 670 hours, which represents savings to the City of
approximately $50,697.
