New Hope Police Department Seeks Reserve Volunteers

Posted on 03/14/2024

The New Hope Police Department is looking for individuals who are interested in serving as police reserve officers. These officers are non-sworn volunteers who assist the police department in various functions. Though they are not licensed by the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training to enforce the criminal laws of Minnesota, they are an integral part of the department and provide valuable services to the community.

Reserve officers provide various services such as patrolling the community, assisting at community functions, and responding to natural disasters and other emergencies. Most reserve officers are community-minded adults who work in fields other than law enforcement. No prior police experience is required. Additional details and an application are available online at newhopemn.gov/policereserve.
