Reserve Officer Certification

Reserve peace officers must be certified within 18 months from the date of their appointment, unless the academy council has granted an extension under administrative rule 501-10.200 (80D). During this 18-month time period, they will have to complete 80 hours of training and 40 hours of supervised time.
