A lot of agencies have reserve officer positions, which are essentially part-time officers. Some agencies pay their reserves, many don't. Also, the "reserve" positions are not equivalent across each state, as many are fully-trained law enforcement officers, and others are just uniformed support for parades and traffic direction.
I started out as a reserve deputy sheriff (unpaid) while I worked full-time in the private sector. Many of my fellow reserves were professionals in various other fields, and put in time in patrol on the weekends.
