LASD Reserve Program

[09cs]

I'm interested in getting some more information about the LASD Reserve program, but can't find much info about it unlike the LAPD one. I called one station and they had no information about, and the email they provide gets bounced back.

Anyone have any info?

Every station has a reserve company. Ask for the Reserve Coordinator. They work business hours, M-F.

Some specialized units have reserve companies too. For example, there is a Reserve Medical Company comprised of Doctors, Nurses, and Paramedics. With the right qualifications, some ride on the Air Rescue Helicopter (Air 5) with the regularly assigned Paramedics. Some stations have Posses, and stations bordering the mountains have Mountain Rescue teams or Search and Rescue teams.

They all fall under the command of Reserve Forces Bureau. I believe they recently moved back to the Hall of Justice or Sherman Block building in Monterey Park when the Hall reopened. They were at STARS Center before that.

You will have to dedicate about a year of weekends and one week night if I remember correctly. It is not an easy process.
