Reserve Officer Program
The Reserve Officer program was established to provide young men and women who are interested in the field of Law Enforcement the opportunity to train towards a career. Each Reserve Officer works towards establishing a Level 1 training status. They are required to be small arms qualified prior to carrying a weapon and must undergo a background check before being hired. They meet twice a month and are provided a uniform. Each officer is responsible for his own service weapon.
Citizens On Patrol
Community support is what generates this program. Citizens On Patrol consists of volunteer members of the community who devote their time by patrolling the neighborhood to help keep it safe. Currently composed of some 17 members, COPS are the eyes and ears of the police department. They are Weiser’s rolling neighborhood watch and are a valuable asset to the city and the police department.
After School Program
The After School Program was started back in September of 2001 with Drug Prevention and Education as its major goal. Initially designed for grades 4th through 9th and an age group of 9 to 12, the program now works with kids ages 7 to 14 years of age. The program allows kids the opportunity to interact with fellow classmates in a safe after school environment. Funding is generated through the City of Weiser, fund raising efforts, as well as, local community and business support.
