Reserve applicants Applications are now being accepted, until September 7, 2010, for the 2011 Reserve Constable Program. See details below.

Delta Police reserve constables are volunteers who participate in community policing and crime prevention activities while under the supervision of a police officer.

The reserve constable must commit to volunteer a minimum of 20 hours each month. The hours may include, but are not limited to training, ride-a-longs with patrol members and participation in community events and programs. There is also a mandatory monthly meeting.

The Delta Police recognizes that a number of applicants interested in the Reserve Program are also interested in obtaining employment as regular members. However, Delta Police also encourage civic-minded citizens who are solely interested in serving their community in a unique and rewarding manner, to also consider the Reserve Program.
