Reserve Officer Unit
The department has a great Reserve Officer Unit, a group of dedicated men & women that supplement our patrol force. Reserve Officers are civilians who volunteer their time in serving the Mt. Juliet community and do not receive financial compensation.
Our Reserve Officer Unit is a unique group of individuals who are civic-minded and service oriented citizens who serve and protect, without compensation, for the betterment of the community. They are dedicated and motivated officers who give their own time and energy to help ensure Mt. Juliet is a safe place to live.
Reserve officers supplement the full-time officers in a variety of duties throughout the department. While on-duty, reserve officers have the same law enforcement powers as full-time officers.
