SWEETSER POLICE DEPARTMENT

All Police Reserve Officers go through the same training requirements as a payrolled officer, with the exception of going to the police academy. These Reserve Officers donate time to the community at no cost to the town, making them an asset to the town.

To become a Reserve Police Officer, you must pass an informal interview, a formal interview, a thorough back-ground investigation, and must be willing to work a minimum of 12 hours per month. Reserve Officers are required to pass a 40 hour Pre-Basic course consisting of law, firearms, and defensive tactics. Only then will a Reserve Officer be allowed to wear the badge and uniform of the Sweetser Police Department
