Reserve officers
Sorry I got into this late. Way back in 1971 when I first joined the reserve, we did not get paid. Went full time in 72, and retired in 2001, and rejoined the reserve. Now we get paid. Its just straight pay (starting Police officer pay) We have to put in at least 12 hours a month. We also have the problem with some now wanting to work. Our department had really tried to work with them, and finally got a "if you don't work, turn your stuff in and you out" That did correct a lot. I guess its like any group. There are people you can always depend on to do the job, and some you can't.

RE: Ideas on how to get reserve officers to work.
You can not compel a volunteer to do something, and to do that creates bad feelings. To terminate them because they are not working your req'd number of hours you want them to, makes them rebel and not want to do anything at all. You need to use reverse psychology and not punitive punishments. Maybe your assignments are not all that thrilling to them? Try doing something for your people instead of having your hand out. Have reserve dinners, award ceremonies, do things with the paid officers. Because at the rate you are going, your reserve corps is going to get disbanded.

Reserve Peace Officer Program (RPOP)
The California Reserve Peace Officer Program (RPOP) is composed of members of our society who choose to dedicate a portion of their time to community service by working as part-time employees or volunteers with law enforcement agencies. These officers work with full-time regular officers to provide law enforcement services at the city, county, district and state levels. Approximately 600 law enforcement agencies currently employ nearly 6200 reserve officers.
Reserve peace officers may perform a number of general and specialized law enforcement assignments, including but not limited to:
Uniformed patrol
Investigations
Marine/boat patrol
Search and rescue
Mounted posse
Special events
Translators
Computer specialists
Chaplains
Many law enforcement agencies established reserve programs during the Second World War. Since that time the number of reserve peace officers has increased and their duties and responsibilities have expanded. The legislature has recognized the importance of reserve peace officers and has adopted standards for selection and training, which have enhanced the professionalism of the RPOP.
Reserve peace officers are required by Commission Regulation 1002 (doc) to meet the same selection standards (e.g. personal history investigation and medical and psychological screening) as full-time regular officers. Commission Regulation1007(a) (doc) outlines the minimum training requirements for reserve peace officers.
The Legislature has established three levels of reserve peace officer to provide flexibility to law enforcement agencies. The duties of the different levels of reserve officer are described below:
Level III Penal Code sections 830.6(a)(1) and 832.6(a)(2)
Level III reserve officers may perform specified limited support duties, and other duties that are not likely to result in physical arrests, while supervised in the accessible vicinity by a Level I reserve officer or a full-time regular officer. Additionally, Level III reserve officers may transport prisoners without immediate supervision.
Level II Penal Code sections 830.6(a)(1) and 832.6(a)(2)
Level II reserve officers may perform general law enforcement assignments while under the immediate supervision of a peace officer who has completed the Regular Basic Course. These officers may also work assignments authorized for Level III reserve officers without immediate supervision.
Level I Penal Code sections 830.6(a)(1) and 832.6(a)(1)
Level I reserve officers may work alone and perform the same duties as full-time regular officers.
For a quick view of appointment levels, description of authority, assignment, supervision and training, please refer to the Reserve Peace Officer Status Summary Table (pdf).
