John B. LyonsDr. Dozier spoke about this matter at a TDCAA Investigator school in the late 1990s. I think it was the 1998 school in Austin. He specifically said that CA/DA offices can not commission reserve officers.
I remember a chief investigator, who was seated near me, that had a "OH S--T" look on his face. That office now pays their former reserves, so they are considered part-time peace officers.
Dr. Dozier also told us that there is no such thing as a "non-paid regular". You are either a Peace Officer (full-time/part-time) or a Reserve Officer, period.

RobertHow much would the CA/DA have to pay the "reserve"? Would $10 a year make them a paid peace officer?
