Book Description
Almost every police agency in America has some type of volunteer worker. Be they police reserves or police/auxiliary, these units comprise an important part of today's police force. As an essential law enforcement tool, the volunteer police force deserves the best management possible. However, very few police agencies offer any special training for their reserve coordinators. The need for a reserve coordinator course has been expressed by numerous California law enforcement agencies because of new trends and legislation concerning reserve officers. Based on this need, POST developed a course designed to address relevant and contemporary training needs of law enforcement coordinators. The objectives of the course are to provide new techniques, skills, and abilities for managing reserve peace officers volunteer organizations. Emphasis is placed upon the recruitment, selection, retention, training, and assignment of volunteers within a law enforcement agency.
