The Huron City Commission has given it’s approval to five volunteers to make up the Huron Police Department’s Reserve Officer Program….
Commissioner Mark Robish made the motion to get the five appointed to become reserve officers pending city physicals and appropriate paperwork. Public Safety Director Gary Will, Jr. says many factors were considered as the candidates applied…
Once paperwork and physicals are completed the volunteer officers will be finger printed and gathered to start training….
Will says a Reserve Officer Program is something he was looking to start since taking over the Department…
Eventually the Reserve Officer will be able to go out on their own once properly trained to do things such as funeral escorts and street blocking for parades. The volunteers will not be paid but the City of Huron will outfit each with proper gear, to the sum of approximately five-thousand dollars per officer.
