SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - There’s room for another dozen police reservists in Minnehaha County and the application deadline is Monday.
Assistant Director of Emergency Management, Doug Blomker, says reservists are called on to supplement law enforcement. He says they're often called to events like JazzFest, Hot Harley Nights and other high profile events.
But he says reservists also assist with D-W-I checkpoints, transfer of prisoners and do have arrest power when with other officers.
Blomker says interested parties can apply at the Civil Defense building on Sigler Avenue just south of McCart Fields. He says the position is an unpaid volunteer but the experience can help lead to a full time position in law enforcement.
