A police reserve force for the city is hereby established by
the city council.
(Ordinance 113, § 1, adopted 7/14/1980)
Members of the police reserve force shall be appointed at the
discretion of the police chief and shall serve as peace officers during
the actual discharge of official duties.
(Ordinance 113, § 2, adopted 7/14/1980)
The qualifications and standards of training for members of
the police reserve force shall be the same as for the regular police
force, and the size of the police reserve force shall not exceed three
times the number of the regular police officers for the city.
(Ordinance 113, § 3, adopted 7/14/1980; Ordinance 96-297-6, § 1, adopted 7/23/1996)
No person appointed to the police reserve force of the city
may carry a weapon or otherwise act as a peace officer until he has
been approved by the city council. After a person so appointed to
the police reserve force has been approved, that person may carry
a weapon only when authorized to do so by the police chief, and only
when discharging official duties as a duly constituted peace officer.
(Ordinance 113, § 4, adopted 7/14/1980; Ordinance 85-182-4, § 1, adopted 1/8/1985)
Members of the police reserve force of the city serve at the
discretion of the police chief and may be called into service at any
time the police chief may consider it necessary to have additional
officers to preserve the peace and enforce the law.
(Ordinance 113, § 5, adopted 7/14/1980)
Members of the police reserve force of the city will serve without
compensation; however, the city council may provide uniform compensation
for members of the police reserve force based solely upon the time
served by a member of the police reserve force while in training for,
or in the performance of, official duties.
(Ordinance 113, § 6, adopted 7/14/1980)
The city council may provide hospital and medical assistance
to a member of the police reserve force who sustains injury in the
course of performing official duties in the same manner as provided
by the governing body for a full time police officer; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be construed to authorize or permit a member
of the police reserve force to become eligible for participation in
any pension fund created pursuant to state statute to which regular
officers may become a member by payroll deductions or otherwise.
(Ordinance 113, § 7, adopted 7/14/1980)
The reserve police officers shall act only in a supplementary
capacity to the regular police force and shall in no case assume the
full time duties of regular police officers without first complying
with all the requirements for such regular police officers.
(Ordinance 113, § 8, adopted 7/14/1980)
