The mission of the Canby Police Reserve
Program is to provide support functions for the police department and the
community.
The Canby Police Reserve Program operates
currently with a total of nine reserve officers. Reserve Officers are
divided into three groups according to their training and experience,
Class I, Class II and Recruits.
Recruit Officers are chosen from a police
testing process involving a written practical, an oral board and
background checks. Click on this link for more information on the Requirements
for becoming a Canby Police Reserve Officer. Once these procedures
are complete, the chosen recruits attend an inter-agency reserve academy
for training, which is very similar to a regular police academy.
Recruit Reserve Officers are assigned a
regular police officer as a training officer. Recruit Officers are
required to put in sixteen hours of patrol time each month. The more hours
a Recruit Officer puts in the more they will learn and the sooner they can
move out of Recruit status to a higher level.
Canby Reserves have many opportunities for
experience in law enforcement. Reserves may be called upon to assist
detectives or patrol officers at any time, which provides opportunities
for valuable learning experiences. Reserves work assignments that require
one-on-one contact with members of the community. These contacts help the
reserve officers build relationship with individual citizens of Canby, and
thereby build trust and confidence in the police services provided by the
Canby Police Department. Click on this link for information on current Hiring
status for Canby Police Reserve Officers.
