Mission
Statement: |
|
|
The Reserve Police Officer is normally limited to uniformed foot patrols to promote positive interactions with citizens, business owners, and tourists. Foot patrol officers serve as a network to exchange information among property owners, regular officers, tourists, and other concerned individuals. Enforcement activities such as making arrests and issuing citations will be minimal to ensure foot officers remain visible and on the street. The Reno Police Department provides successful applicants with required uniforms, a firearm, and other equipment as determined by the department. Foot patrol officers work under the direct supervision of a police sergeant. For more information on these programs, please visit the Reno Police Department's site |
