Committees
Certification Committee
Develop a reserve certification program.
The Certification Committee has culminated input and requests from agencies,
with reserve officer programs, from around the state of Oregon in regards
to what they believe would be an appropriate state-wide process for
establishing certified reserve officers and deputies.
The input was used by OARPO to develop the
Certified Reserve Officer/Deputy Program.
One of the required components of the
Certified Reserve Officer/Deputy Program
is for OARPO to establish the curriculum for the
certified reserve academy to present to DPSST.
OARPO regional representatives are contacting each
established reserve academy in Oregon to obtain their
curriculums and input on what should be established
for the DPSST certified reserve academies.
Membership is important, as members will have the strongest
voice in deciding the details of the
Certified Reserve Officer/Deputy Program.
Training Committee
Coordinate, conduct, sponsor & recommend.
OARPO regional representatives have already contacted
many of the sheriff's offices and police departments in
Oregon and have developed a database showing which agencies
have reserve officer programs and how many reserve officers
they have appointed.
The database shows the established reserve officer
academies in Oregon and which agencies are affiliated with them.
All the data, received to date, has been posted on a
quick reference visual representation that can be e-mailed
to all agencies once it is completed.
The data is incomplete as this time and the regional
representative will contact every police department and
sheriff's office in Oregon to complete the data.
OARPO is currently developing and hosting training
for reserve officers, but when the data is completed,
OARPO will be able to more easily facilitate and
coordinate training needs for all reserve officers
in Oregon as well as help to satisfy other resource needs.
Membership will be a critical element to providing
training and resource needs.
Legislation Committee
Recommend & track bills.
The Legislative Committee has selected liaisons to
obtain endorsements from the major police organizations
in Oregon for the
Certified Reserve Officer/Deputy Program.
The organizations include
the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police,
the Oregon State Sheriffs Association,
the Oregon Council of Police Associations,
the Oregon Peace Officers Association,
and
the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training.
Once endorsements are obtained,
the Legislative Committee will approach the legislation
with DPSST to secure the needed funds for DPSST to
implement certified reserve officer academies and
administrate the
Certified Reserve Officer/Deputy Program.
Membership will be a critical element to show the
legislators that there is a strong need for funding the program.
Benefits and disability/liability Insurance Committee
Tracking what is available.
Research and development of legal representation, benefits,
and insurance. To recommend and present the available options
to the OAPRO Board with a cost analysis and action plan for
implementation.

packets. Prepare member cards. Coordinate with the
OARPO Treasurer for annual dues.

reserve officers. Develop a workable policy for
statewide reserve manuals.
DPSST Liaison Committee

from reserve programs in the state, and develop from
those one OARPO recommended operations manual and
