“Our reserve police officers are community-minded volunteers who tirelessly serve and protect our City as full-authority police officers. They hold many different assignments throughout the department and serve alongside our full-time officers. The police vehicles donated to the Reserve Foundation in partnership with our community businesses will be immediately put to use and will aid our reserve officers in delivering essential police services to our community,” said Chief Jeri Williams.

Hall said, “We are humbled and thrilled that Courtesy Chevrolet has stepped up to ensure that our reserve officers, who donated 39,357 hours of sworn police services in 2019 and 2020, will have state-of-the-art vehicles at their disposal. Providing these men and women with the finest equipment to successfully do their jobs is one of the missions of the business and community leaders who make up our board composition.”
