Reserves are a great asset to any department, as long as you have the right people.
After retiring from the HCSO, I went to work as a reserve officer with a podunk little agency in Polk County (think Mayberry)
Some of the "full time" guys had an attitude toward the reservist (same thing we saw in the military until Desert storm
)
Funny part was, I left the S.O. with more sick time on the books than most of these s-heads had on duty
Most of your major agancies however, make good use of the reserve and auxilliary forces.
They're going to depend more and more on them as years pass and budgets get reeled in.
But if you've got good people on that reserve force, there's no reason not
