To perform the duties of an Auxiliary Police Officer, All Reserves are required to complete a

Comprehensive Basic Recruit Officer Training Program

Join us in our mission.

All active officers are required to take comprehensive special training courses covering the Illinois Criminal Law procedures (Chapter 720). This includes the use of force, Traffic Control and Crowd Control, plus other law enforcement subjects, in addition to ongoing training to qualify and remain an active officer with our organization. They are also required to purchase all their equipment as specified by Illinois Police Reserves to perform the duties of a Qualified Police Officer. All these services are available only to Constituted Police Authorities, under the laws of the State of Illinois. The municipality of community that requests the assistance of the Illinois Police Reserves, must furnish insurance coverage, like that of their own regular department while they are on duty. The Illinois Police Reserves Officers requested by the Chief of Police to assist their regular officers, to act as Auxiliary Peace Officers and have status as Conservators of the Peace within their jurisdiction. After detail has ended, the Illinois Police Rerserves Officer revert back to a civilian status. All that is asked in return for our services is that the community make a contribution to cover our operational expenses for the officers on duty for the day. No member of the Illinois Police Reserves receives any remuneration whatever for services rendered except the personal satisfaction of service and commitment contibuting to the theme of Law and Order which is the basic of our Organization. The hundreds of letters received over the years from the many Chiefs of Police, Mayors, Village Managers, etc. testifying to the value of assistance of the Illinois Police Reserves Officers at the many details, is living testimony to the value of the Illinois Police Reserves and its many years of unblemished service to the many communities it has served.
