Police Reserve Summary PREPARED BY OFFICER TRESSA SUNDE The Reserve Unit continues to remain a very strong and valuable asset to the police department. While the job description itself has not changed, the level of officers has. We had a lot of turnover the past couple years…most would think that is a bad thing, I, however, reflected upon the past couple years with pride. You see, we lost several reserve officers who are now full-time, sworn, police officers! Knowing that our department helped to cultivate these men and women into dedicated officers makes it a win in my book! As with any loss, there is new growth. We again began looking for people who were eager to fulfill their dream to help a department, gain knowledge and learn “the ropes” of working side by side with police officers. All the while, not only making themselves better reserve officers but helping out the sworn officers in so many ways…again…WIN-WIN!
