In March, as the Department authorized the wearing of BDUs during the COVID-19 crisis, the LAPRF Board of Directors voted to reimburse reserve officers who purchase the wash-and-wear utility uniforms during the period.
My plan for the Reserve Unit is in line with the Department’s strategic plan. My goals are to enhance reserve officer deployment to Patrol divisions, expand the number of reserve officers to supplement our patrol force and continue to increase recruitment efforts of reserve officers.
In normal times, the bulk of this issue would be dedicated to highlighting and congratulating our Reserve Officers of the Year and the honorees recognized at the Twice a Citizen gala and thanking our donors, supporters and staff who made it all possible.
