The Police Department does not offer financial compensation for its Reserve Officers, but we will provide you with the standard uniform and equipment of a San Francisco Police Officer. You will be issued a Department-owned firearm, custom fitted protective vest, crowd control equipment, leather gear, and other related equipment. If a Reserve Officer regularly meets his/her monthly obligation of service, that Reserve Officer will be allowed to request a voucher for additional uniforms (on an annual basis).
Reserve Officers are eligible for continued professional training, outside training courses, and any other course taught at the SFPD Academy at no-cost to that Reserve Officer.
If a Reserve Officer is injured in the line-of-duty, he or she will receive Worker's Compensation benefits.
Reserve Officer is strictly a non-civil service volunteer position and does not receive any payment.
