Part Time Positions in Sacramento, CA?

[nickt916]

I dont have any LE background, and i understand that i would need to pay myself to get through the academy... What is the current academy price?

Does anyone know they pay for part time/reserve officers and how are these officers used? Are they basically on call when need to be?
How would this effect my current job, or do i just report to a district and get my required hours a week at times im available?

Do reserve POs do everything that full time POs do, what are their expectations?

Also, If i go through academy myself, do i open up more doors for myself in the LE filed with part time positions? I would love to work part time in LE, and i was wondering if there are any part time LE jobs that are unarmed?

I don't know specifically about Sacramento agencies. So I'll have to speak generally.

The average cost for an academy is around $3000-$7000 depending on the academy.

Some Reserve Officers/Deputies are paid, some are not. It is entirely dependent on the agency. The extent to which reserves are used are also up to the agency.

Some agencies hire reserves as "Level I" reserves. These types of reserve officers are eligible to attend a field training program and be deployed as solo patrol officers. There are also Level II officers, which must must work with a regular full-time officer or another Level I officer. Level III reserve officers typically have limited law enforcement responsibilities, such as jailers.

Unarmed LE positions would be..Community Service Officer (CSO), Public Safety Dispatcher, Police Jailer.

Always call. Ask for a recruiting Sgt. A phone call will get you the better response.
