Reserve Police

The Northville Township Police Department has fifteen (15) Reserve Officer positions. Our Reserves come from all walks of life and join the Reserve program for a variety of reasons. Some join because of a desire to serve the community in which they live and have careers other than police work. Most of our recent Reserves join this Department to start a career in law enforcement. These persons have seen how this Department works and how the Reserve program works within this Department. A big factor seems to be that this Department hires some new regular officers from the Reserve Officer ranks.

The Reserve Coordinator  keeps a file of interested and qualified persons for upcoming Reserve Officer positions. Get applications at the Human Resource Office at the Finance Building. When a position opens, the interested persons are notified. Once the applications are reviewed, then an interview or oral board is conducted. The selected person is then contacted and requested to complete the hiring process that includes a background check.

The person selected to the Reserve program will be supplied with all the required safety equipment and necessary uniforms. The reserve officer will need to supply their own firearm. The applicant will be sent to a 12 week reserve training program 2 nights a week at Schoolcraft College. This new Reserve Officer is then assigned to a reserve field training officer to complete training. Once the reserve field training officer signs off the reserve officer as successfully completing all the required training, then this reserve officer is cleared to start patrolling the streets of the Township with a full time officer.
