he had suggested at the last budget session that the item

was any incentive for the Reserve Officers other than some
day they might be qualified for patrolmen.

possibility of being trained to be a regular officer;
that the majority of men who were now Reserve Officers
were not qualified due to age or due to their own desire in not
wanting to leave their present profession; that one of the
big problems in the survey that was made was the side costs
and that the City would probably be losing in the overall
picture; that their work was supplemental to the Officers;

regular policemen; that the Department had nine 9)
reserve officers at the present time; that the original
authorization was for thirty 30).
