Welcome to the Columbus Police Reserve Web Page. Our motto, “Excellence In Service,” portrays an organization that is rich in history, and dedicated to service. For over 60 years Reserve Officers have augmented and aided the Division of Police by providing an additional source of Law Enforcement Officers, and by assisting the Division’s full-time officers in regular duties, and in times of emergencies. Reserve Officers come from all walks of life, but share the one common goal of giving something back to their communities. From the first group of Auxiliary Officers, who worked the streets unarmed and without the powers of arrest, the unit has evolved into professionally trained and fully certified law enforcement officers who are granted full powers of arrest. I am truly proud of all those who serve now, and those who have selflessly served before us.
If you have what it takes to be
a Reserve Officer, and wish to be part of the finest Police Division
in the Country, then the Columbus Police Reserve is the place for you.
The commitment is strong, and the rewards are many.
- Colonel Mike York
Commanding Officer, Columbus Police Reserve
