Police Chief H.C. “Skip” Clark II announces Peachtree City Police Department’s first Reserve Police Officer Program

The Peachtree City Police Department is seeking community members who meet the qualifications and standards necessary to become a Peachtree City Police Department Reserve Officer. The City of Peachtree City and the Peachtree City Police Department invite you to consider becoming a volunteer with one of Georgia's finest law enforcement agencies.

The Police Department’s Reserve Police Officer program will be comprised of community members who volunteer their time to help fulfill many of the duties full-time sworn police officers handle.

Reserve officers do not receive compensation; however, they do receive the same training as fulltime officers and work alongside them in every aspect of department operations.

Applicants must be certified through Georgia POST Council or meet criteria for Peace Officer Certification after attending Basic Law Enforcement Training at a Regional Police Academy (scholarship and/or other financial assistance will be the responsibility of the applicant).

Prospective candidates will be required to successfully complete the same screening and background process required of full-time Peachtree City Police Officers.

Reserve Officer applications (same as Police Officer) may be obtained at http://www.peachtree-city.org/ or City Hall at 151 Willowbend Road Peachtree City, Georgia.

Applications must be submitted by March 24, 2009
