Summary
District staff asked the Corsicana ISD board to authorize the chief of police to establish a reserve officer program limited to 10 part-time/volunteer officers subject to department rules and background checks; a motion was made and seconded, but no vote is recorded in the provided transcript.
District staff asked the Corsicana ISD Board of Trustees to approve a resolution authorizing the chief of police to establish a reserve police officer program limited to no more than 10 reserve officers.
A staff presenter described the proposed program as requiring reserve officers to follow the same policies, background checks and state and federal guidelines as full-time officers. "These reserve officers would be... on a part-time basis. But they would also have to follow all the same rules that our police department does now," the presenter said.
A motion to approve the resolution was moved and seconded during the meeting record, but the provided transcript ends before an outcome or recorded vote appears. The proposal would allow the chief to set up the program and operate under existing department policy if the board votes to approve it in a subsequent record.
The transcript does not record any public comment on the item, a final vote, nor specifics about any funding, compensation or hiring timeline for reserve officers.
