Part-time or Reserve Officers?

[Jeff22]

I retired in 2011 at 53 after 31 years.

I continued working at my PD at about 50% for the next ten years, both patrol and as a dispatcher.

I enjoyed it but everything comes to an end eventually,

I retired on June 30,2020 after 30 years…I was 49. (I had over a year of sick leave and I purchased my military time and rolled it over into my retirement). I went back part-time/reserve a couple months later still conducting training and running backgrounds on applicants.

About a year later I got a state job (different retirement system) and began teaching LEOs how to run breath tests and SFSTs on impaired drivers. I also maintain 42 breath testing instruments in 13 counties. Best decision ever.
