The examination must be administered by the board or the board's designee.

After a second unsuccessful attempt, the individual shall successfully complete the entire reserve peace officer training course before the individual may retake the examination a third time.

3. Existing reserve officers or reserve deputies. Individuals who have served as a reserve officer or reserve deputy for more than one year preceding August 1, 2021, and who meet the minimum license requirements of this chapter may obtain a reserve peace officer license without taking the entire reserve peace officer training program.

Individuals availing themselves of this process only may take the reserve peace officer examination once. If the individual does not pass the reserve peace officer examination, they must take the entire reserve peace officer training program in order to retake the reserve peace officer examination.
