Last Thursday, five EPPD Reserve Officers graduated from a six-week Reserve Officer School hosted by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office.
Reserve Officers Deepak Chinta, Justin Kazmark, Robert Lawton, AK Ravikumar and Hannah Schmidt received instruction in a number of subjects including crime scenes, Police K-9, Water Patrol, officer safety and law enforcement organization.
New reserve officers also attend traffic-directing school and first-aid, CPR and AED certification classes. In addition, Eden Prairie reserve officers must complete a monthly department-specific training and complete a training manual.
Reserves are volunteer members of the community who assist officers with emergencies, community events and other special details. The Reserve Unit is currently recruiting new members. If you are interested in joining this dedicated group of volunteers, please view the Reserves information on our website and submit an application.
Congratulations to our newest reserve officers!
