Reserve Officers in good standing shall be permitted to work special duty assignments as defined
in Directive 7.1. Reserve Officers who fail to serve the minimum 24 hour monthly requirement will
be denied the opportunity to work any special duty assignments. An exception may be made if
the Reserve Officer provides his/her immediate supervisor with a written explanation as to cause
for failing to serve the 24 hour monthly requirement. Each written explanation will be evaluated
on a case-by-case basis by the supervisor and the Chief of Police.
19.1.5 Performance Evaluation
All Reserve Officers shall receive a yearly performance evaluation by his/her assigned
supervisor. Performance appraisals have many purposes and objectives, one of which is to
provide the Reserve Officer an evaluation of his/her performance in accordance with
departmental standards.
If a Reserve Officer receives a sub-standard performance evaluation, he/she shall be put on
probation for a period designated by the issuing supervisor. The purpose of the probationary
period is to allow the issuing supervisor to observe the Reserve Officer’s progress in meeting the
mutually acceptable goals established during the performance evaluation review.
If the Reserve Officer fails to meet the established goals during the probationary period and/or
progress has not been seen, the Reserve Officer may be subject to disciplinary action or the
termination of his/her commission as a Reserve Police Officer. The Chief of Police, in
consultation with the City Manager, will review such cases before any administrative action is
taken.
