As part of the continuing support to the Escondido Police Departments law enforcement operations, and depending upon the California P.O.S.T. and academy level certification, Reserve Officers are assigned to Patrol, Gang Enforcement, Background Investigations, Training, Investigations, Crime Scene and Perimeter Protection Teams, DUI Check Points, Prisoner Transport, Parades, and, most importantly, public relations assignments at civic events in the City of Escondido. Over 60 of our regular officers started their law enforcement careers as an Escondido Police Reserve Officer with many others moving on to full time positions with various other state and local law enforcement agencies.
