Reserve Program
The Doraville Police Reserve Program is comprised of members who volunteer their time to fulfill many of the roles handled by full-time sworn police officers. Reserve officers receive the same training as fulltime officers and work alongside them in every aspect of Department operations.

The Rewards of Becoming a Reserve Officer

How do the Reserve Officers fit into the organization of the Doraville Police Department? Because of the standards, the selection process, and the training program for Reserve Officers, their acceptance by regular members of the Department has been extremely favorable. Some Patrol Officers even request to be assigned to work with a particular reserve officer. Reserve Officers have received numerous commendations for their actions in the field and are highly valued members of the DPD team.
