The Waverly Police Department is weighing the current level of interest in the position of Reserve Police Officer for the Waverly Police Department. This is not to be confused with the Citizen’s Police Academy. Individuals interested in the position are subject to the following stipulations: 1) Must possess a Waverly, Iowa address. 2) Must have a valid Iowa Driver’s License. 3) Pass a comprehensive interview and background check conducted by officials of the Waverly Police. 4) Meet physical requirements of a police officer. 5) Be 18 years of age or older. 6) Possess a high school diploma or equivalent GED. 7) No felony convictions or crimes that prohibit carrying out police duties.

 

The focus of the Waverly Police Reserve Program is to provide the community with an auxiliary unit of trained, competent police officers to supplement the Waverly Police Patrol Division.   This unit would also help build an environment of “community involvement” that is vital to the Waverly Police Department.   The ideal candidate for the Waverly Police Reserve would be someone who is an established citizen and is willing to devote the time and effort to achieving a safer community. These Reserve Officers would supplement the Patrol Division in duties including routine patrol, parades, sporting events, natural disasters, or any other emergency. This role is ideal for those community members with an established career and who do not wish to make the transition to a full-time police officer.

 

Any person with questions or interest in this position are asked to contact Captain Jason Leonard of the Waverly Police Department at 319.352.5400 or by e-mail at jasonl@ci.waverly.ia.us before February 5th, 2010.
