More on the Rushville Police
Department Reserve Unit ...
Rushville is located
approximately 40 miles east of Indianapolis. Up until March of
2005, Rushville covered a one-square mile area. That area more
than doubled when a city annexation took effect. The new area
extends approximately one mile south and one mile southeast of the
previous city limits. The south and southeast areas are
separated by farmland that is not included. The number of
citizens in the City of Rushville increased from 6,000 to
6,700. 
Rushville Reserve Police
Officers have the same Police Powers as full-time Officers and
assist them with Patrol and Investigative duties.
The Reserve Officers work special details, atheletic functions,
and parades which free full-time Officers for other duties. The
Reserve Officers carry personal pagers and can be called on to
assist during emergencies or manpower needs. The Reserve Unit
also has its own fully equipped Patrol car which is pictured at
right. (Photograph provided by the Rushville
Reserve Police Unit).
To become a
Rushville Reserve Officer, you must attend and pass a 40-hour
Pre-Basic Class, 20 hours of Dispatch Training, and ride with a
full-time Officer for 100 hours. To receive driving
privileges, Reserves must then drive with full-time
Officers for another 40 hours while they are being evaluated.
After the evaluation and clearance from the Chief of Police, they
are permitted to Patrol alone. Each Reserve Officer is then
required to maintain monthly work hours and yearly training
requirements.
The Rushville Reserve Police
Unit is considered a valuable asset to the Department and is valued
by each member of the Department.
