    take home police cars for reserve officers?

    Are there any police departments that provide take home cruisers for reserve police officers?

    Also, can you be a reserve officer in several departments at the same time? For example, can you be an LAPD reserve police officer while you are an LASD reserve deputy?

    Very few and far between. Some of the rural counties in Indiana used to allow Reserves to store their vehicles at their residence but there was no personal use and nothing set in stone that would allow them to keep them permanently.

    I've never heard of a department that would allow a reserve officer to take home a marked unit.
    Wrong door, buddy

    The last thing you need to worry about is a take home car if you're interested in going to jail. Anyone who WANTS to go to jail has no business being a cop, reserve or full-time.

    I DON'T wanna commit a crime and I NEVER will. I just wanna experience jail without commiting any crimes. And it will be a good experience to understand the justice system If you wanna become a police officer.

    If you want to experience jail, clean out everything in your bedroom except for your bed. Give up your cell phone, computer and everything else in your room. Wear your pajamas and have someone stop by three times a day and give you a TV dinner. If you really want the experience, invite a male friend over to snuggle up with you and whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

I want to ask the judge if I can go to jail for a couple of days or weeks for the ticket... I always wanted to experience jail but I don't want to commit any crimes and I think itd be a good oppertunity.


    But one thing that I'm worried is that I want to become a police officer after I graduate from university. I wonder if going to jail for a parking ticket can affect my career in law enforcement. I have no crime record at all. I will get a degree in science. Can it affect my career if I choose to go to jail for the ticket? It's not even a crime at all.. Does it still matter?

    I wonder if it is possible to go to jail for the ticket and if it can affect my career. Thank you

    Okay, let's just sum this up:

    1) Wants to "experience" jail because it will be a "good opportunity" and "learning experience."

    2) Wants to know about take-home units for reserves.

    3) Wants to know about working for SEVERAL departments as a reserve at the same time.

    What we truly have here is someone who needs to see a psychologist in the worst way. He wants to eat, sleep, live and breath "cop" and wants to "experience" things to make him a "better cop." NO BUSINESS being a police officer, ever, under any circumstances. This is the type that joins anti-government self-formed "militias" and wears tin foil hats.
