Reserve Officer
The Blytheville Police Department Auxiliary Police Force is comprised of Volunteer Officers who provide police services to the community on a non-compensated basis. Often referred to as Reserve Patrol Officers, joining the Auxiliary Police Force is a way for citizens to get involved in Law Enforcement while still pursuing a career or education in other areas.
Reserve Officers on the Auxiliary Police Force may choose a variety of duties from supplementing the day-to-day operations of the department, assisting with Traffic Control, Community Events, Parades, and Natural Disasters.
While on-duty, members of the Blytheville Police Department’s Auxiliary Police Force can exercise the same authority and have legal protection afforded full time sworn police officers.
The members of the Blytheville Police Department’s Auxiliary Police Force are selected in the same manner as are full time police officers.
