Volunteer Reserve
The Gallatin Police Department is fortunate to have a Reserve Unit of highly committed and dedicated individuals who take great pride in their work. The Reserve Police Officers donate an immense amount of volunteer time to the community and the department serving the City of Gallatin.
It’s not uncommon to find Reserve Police Officers on bicycle or walking patrol at any number of police operations and community events. You can find them assigned to details such as critical incident response, DUI checkpoints, patrolling city parks, community outreach programs, auto theft assignments, or traffic and crowd control functions at large events.
Whether you are seeking a career in law enforcement, or simply want to take your interest in community activism to the next level, do something positive for yourself and your community.
