Being an IMPD Reserve Police Officer is truly an adventure of a lifetime.  It can be a highly rewarding experience in many ways.  However, it is significant commitment, a great responsibility and not for everyone.

There are periodic orientation meetings in different locations of the city.  
The next orientation is:
