Reserves

What is the Reserve Officer Program?

The Munford Police Department Reserve Officer Program is a volunteer program. Reserve officers will receive all required training in house.  The officers donate their personal time to the city and help full-time officers on a daily basis.  The reserve officers are required to ride a minimum of 24 hours per month.

What are Reserve Officers used for?

They are utilized for special events such as Celebrate Munford activities,  Christmas Parade, and school events.  The requirements to be hired as a Munford Police Department Reserve Officer are the same as full-time officers, since a lot of reserves eventually become full-time.  If you have any questions concerning our reserve program you can email Sgt.
