The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is now accepting applications for its next Reserve Police Officer recruit class. This is a perfect opportunity for those:
- with full-time careers who are interested in volunteering in their community as a police officer, or
- who want to explore law enforcement as a full-time career option.
The IMPD Police Reserve Unit is comprised of a diverse group of citizens, including doctors, lawyers, college students, soldiers, and welders, just to name a few. While the Reserve Unit is as diverse as our city, all of its members share a common interest of serving our community as police officers.
Reserve police officers have the same training, authority, and responsibility as their full-time counterparts. Duties include patrol, responding to emergency and non-emergency calls for service, enforcing traffic laws, and performing duties relating to police-community relations in working with citizens and neighborhood groups to solve problems. After completing all of the training requirements, reserve police officers are granted full police powers.
Benefits include:
- The opportunity to make a real difference in the community
- Accredited law enforcement training and opportunities for advanced training (K-9, motorcycles, etc.)
- Take-home police car, subject to availability
- Uniforms and equipment
- Medical and liability coverage while performing official duties
- Fast-track field training for eligible reserve IMPD officers who want to become full-time IMPD officers
Participants are expected to fulfill the following commitments:
- Successfully complete all initial training requirements (570 academy hours, plus field training)
- Volunteer a minimum of 288 hours of assigned duty per year (average 24 hours per month)
- Obey all laws and applicable general orders and regulations
Minimum requirements:
- Be a resident citizen of the United Sates
- Be at least 21 years old to apply, but not have reached your 65th birthday by the date of the swearing-in ceremony
- Have a high school diploma or GED
- Cannot have been convicted of a felony
