F.3 CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 3671, ESTABLISHING THE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS POLICE RESERVE PROGRAM. APPROVED Director of Public Safety Jimmy Perdue informed City Council when he hired with the City of North Richland Hills in 2005, the police reserve program was not managed in a capacity to assist the department. The police reserve program was eliminated shortly after he hired with the City. Given the change in policing over the last 15 years, the department needs to identify individuals in the community to assist the department. Training police officers has become labor intensive and the department recognizes that a well-managed police reserve program will assist the department in serving the community. Assistant Police Chief Mike Young provided an overview of the proposed police reserve program. The department has identified people who have left the City of North Richland Hills and are interested to work a day or two per month. State law requires each reservist be approved by City Council. The department seeks to augment police operations with the reserve program. If approved, the program will require a minimum of 12 hours and no more than 80 hours a month; the police chief can dismiss reservists from the program and released reservists do not have a right to appeal; the City is required to provide workers' compensation; and supply equipment for patrol reservists. Mr. Young informed City Council reservists will not receive benefits or compensation other than what is required by state law.
