[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2733825, member: 1132"] TCSO has four levels of reserve deputy in their program. At Level IV, you can pretty much do anything a full time officer can, including the SWAT team. There have been reserves on SWAT, homicide, CSI, you name it. At one time our chief crime scene photographer was a reserve who donated around 2,000 hours a year (retired guy obviously). To reach Level IV you have to have gone through the state certified academy, 40 hours of prisoner transport and 420 hours of FTO evaluation. The guy I ride with is also a reserve, has been on the SWAT team and is even an FTO himself. TCSO has gone out of their way to seek national certification and is a National Sheriff's Assoc. Triple Crown Award recipient: [url]http://www.tcso.org/tcsoweb/TrippleCrown.aspx[/url] That means all aspects of the office have undergone review for meeting national standards, including the reserve program. We're currently undergoing CALEA accreditation renewal. This may be the first time a reserve has been involved in a slip and capture incident (at least one that's received major media attention), but more than a few have happened to full time officers. It's not something to be taken lightly whether it's a full timer or volunteer. You can't have too much training, to include critical incident management. Sadly, time and resources will always be less than adequate to ensure perfection and even if they were, you'll never get 100%. No reasonable person would argue that Harris deserved what he got, but life carries risks. More so if you engage in the types of activities he was involved in. :( [/QUOTE]
