THE EXPANDING SERVICE ROLL OF THE POLICE IS EXAMINED, AND THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF AUXILIARY POLICE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF ASSIGNMENTS IS PROPOSED AS A SOLUTION FOR POLICE MANPOWER NEEDS.
Abstract
QUESTIONS RAISED IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A RESERVE OR AUXILIARY POLICE FORCE, SUCH AS TRAINING, CONDUCT, EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN, AND CHAIN OF COMMAND ARE FIRST DISCUSSED. FISCAL AND LEGAL QUESTIONS ARE ALSO MENTIONED. DEPLOYMENT OF AUXILIARY POLICE IS CONSIDERED, AND THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS A WIDE VARIETY OF ASSIGNMENTS WHICH MAY BE GIVEN TO RESERVES, RANGING FROM TRAFFIC CONTROL, FOOT PATROL, SPECIAL EVENTS ASSIGNMENTS AND EMERGENCY RESCUE TEAMS TO INVESTIGATING NEIGHBORHOOD COMPLAINTS AND TECHNICAL POSITIONS.
