Council to pause additional Wednesday-night reserves through January, re-evaluate in February
Summary
After reviewing citations and incidents since April, the council agreed not to schedule reserve officers for December and January and to reassess the program at its Feb. 10 meeting unless circumstances warrant an earlier change.
Council reviewed the reserve officer presence on Wednesday nights and the record of citations and contacts since April 2024. Staff reported a series of traffic stops and citations and described officers’ observations; councilmembers said they had not received widespread complaints and proposed pausing additional reserve assignments through December and January.
One councilmember summarized the course of action: “So what we're advocating is taking no action on this going forward?” and the council generally agreed to suspend scheduled reserves for the two months and to revisit the issue at the Feb. 10 meeting, with flexibility to call for officers sooner if incidents increase.
