The last two months we switched things up a little bit. Rather than receiving training, our reserve officers assisted sworn law enforcement throughout Houston County by “acting” in scenarios. Reserves played the roles of suspect, victim, witness, and bystander in various scenarios for required continuing education credits for the officers and deputies.

Success story!

Former Police Reserve Sergeant Kayla Green has been working with the Minnesota Department of Corrections for several months and we are just getting to posting it now. Kayla was with the reserve unit for about two years and went above and beyond during her time with us. If you saw the reserves on patrol, it’s a good chance it was her.

Thank you for all you did to advance the unit!

This weekend, the Police Reserve unit received training on how to make traffic stops. While reserve officers themselves are not authorized to make traffic stops, they do receive hands-on law enforcement trainings as part of their employment. These mock traffic stops were conducted in a controlled setting. Thank you to the La Crescent Snowmobile Club for allowing us to use your property to train in a safe and nondisruptive manner!
