Minnetonka Police Reserves are non-sworn volunteers that assist officers with community service tasks and non-criminal police duties. They also assist during natural disasters and emergency situations that require additional personnel. They do not carry firearms and are not licensed peace officers.

Becoming a police reserve is a great way to get to know and serve the community, and is a great introduction for anyone interested in a career in law enforcement.
