DPSST PRESENTATION
Eriks Gabliks:
Presentation on Certified Reserve Officer/Deputy Program.
There was only positive feedback from all of the chief's.
Chief Grace will present to the Chief's meeting in January.
Looking for support from Chief's, SO's, OPOA, OR Council of Police Assoc.
(Bert will contact them).
Eriks Gabliks:
Certified reserve officers, no money at DPSST to implement this program at this time.
Eriks has requested funding, but has not heard yet if it has been approved,
however, he has requested the funding in the past and it has been denied.
1995 Advisory committee:
There was a state-wide survey to gather information about training programs.
Lots of diversity state-wide in the amount of training.
Proposed 3 levels of reserves:
• level 1 no weapon
• level 2 with a certified officer
• level 3 solo reserve
Training at 10 weeks through DPSST 400 hrs reduced to 320hrs.
Reserves must meet the same standards as a full-time officer background etc.
DPSST would have oversight in regards to: courses, instructors, and officers.
Non-transferable: If you go through a program you still have to attend DPSST academy if hired as full-time.
There needs to be a program coordinator, money for development, and money for instructor development.
Coordinator would be a liaison for all coordinators around the state.
No money available for this position/program.
Can OARPO help get this process going - waiting for the budget to get approved.
The money needs to come from the legislature, or some other funding source
