Police: Reserves

Are you a professional with a great career looking for a unique way to give back to the community? Considering a career in Law Enforcement but want to try it out first?

If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, being a reserve might be for you.

Reserve police officers are comprised of a carefully selected group of community service oriented citizens, they are sworn officers who work part-time and volunteer their time. Upon graduation from a modified police academy, police Reserves partner with experienced full-time officers for continued on-the-job training. Reserve officers give thousands of hours each year to our community.

Reserve officers must meet the same basic appointment requirements as that of full-time police officers and go through the same selection process to include written test, oral board, extensive background investigation, and physical testing. The final phase of the process are medical and psychological examinations that are paid for by the City.  All successful applicants will be required to attend a Reserve Police Officer Academy, which is generally held two evenings per week and several Saturdays over a five-month period. 

Police Reserve Officers positions are non-compensated volunteer positions. After completion of training and onboarding there is a 18 month probationary period and a 16 hour a monthly time commitment.
