Dallas, TX Reserves

[delvallef]

Folks,

Want to know if anyone has experience working as or with Dallas PD reserves? I am interested in joining.

Thanks.

If you are already certified don't do it.

You MUST go to their academy...nights for about a year.....

Grand Praire and Carrollton have good reserve programs.

[delvallef]

Not yet

I'm not certified.

Am interested to know if DPD reserves have off-duty authority and carry status. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I'd like to know how the reserves and paid officers get along. I am a volunteer firefighter and my Asst. chief is a Dallas Sr. Cpl. He says they get along fine but admits that he doesn't really work with reserves.

If anyone's gone through their academy, can you tell me how it was?

Thanks all.

TCLEOSE guidelines permit reserves to carry off duty. However, DPD general orders forbid their reserves to carry off duty.
