Authority: IC 5-2-1-9

Affected: IC 36-8-3-20

Sec. 1.

(a) All reserve police officers defined in IC 36-8-3-20 appointed after June 30, 1993, whether called reserve police officers or by another title, shall successfully complete the prebasic training course prescribed by the board before the reserve police officer may:

(1) exercise any power of arrest;

(2) conduct any search or seizure of a person or property; or

(3) carry a firearm.

(b) The chief executive officer of a department may not adopt the prescribed prebasic training course as the only curriculum for satisfying the department training requirement prescribed in IC 36-8-3-20.

(c) In addition to the department training program required by IC 36-8-3-20, each reserve police officer is encouraged to do the following:

(1) Complete a board-approved reserve police officer academy program within one (1) year of the date of appointment as a reserve police officer.

(2) Complete, each year thereafter, the same amount of inservice training that paid law enforcement officers are mandated to complete.

(d) Reserve police officers who voluntarily and successfully complete a reserve police officer academy program certified by the board shall be eligible for consideration for a waiver of basic training by the board should the reserve police officer academy program graduate subsequently accept employment with a department that participates in the town marshal basic training program. However, as a condition of the waiver, the board may require the reserve police officer academy program graduate, hired by a small town department, to test out on all or any part of the town marshal basic training program. Further, persons who are granted a waiver of training through this process are limited to service in a department having no more than one (1) marshal and two (2) deputy marshals.
