My town has a thing called reserve police officers.
When you start it's small duty, then you get more training etc. You have to attend a P.O.S.T. course and that's 2 nights a week and Saturdays for one semester at a community college so not bad.
I've thought about it, have no record and am fit enough. In an era of both rising gun control and urban violence, when both the government and the people seem to want to leave safety and security to 'professionals." I'm wondering if it might not be a good idea to be on that team WTSHTF.
Anyone here ever serve as Reserve PD? Opinion's good/ bad?
Also, (and not the primary reason but a neat side effect,) with a lot of arguing over 2nd amendment and CCW the thought occured to me... why not get a badge? Not the solution for everyone, but the gun control wants firearms only in the hands of Law Enforcement so...
Just a thought.
