I am looking to get the perspective of Dallas PD Reserves from both Reservists and Full time officers. I am thinking about Reserving with them in the near future and I kinda want to get the full picture before I start the process.
My two main questions are:
What is their flexibility? I have an odd, rotating shift schedule, are they willing to be flexible when it comes to getting my hours?
How are the Reserve officers viewed by the full-time officers? Is there a good working relationship or are the reservists looked down upon? I have heard that there are several departments that have tension between reserves and full timers.
I'm looking to hear the good, bad and even the ugly. If you have any insight on this please feel free to post your experiences/knowledge!
Thanks!
