The Minneapolis Police Reserve is an auxiliary unit of the Minneapolis Police Department.
Our Officers come from a wide variety of backgrounds, occupations, lifestyles, ages, and cultures. Officers in their twenties work side-by-side with officers in their sixties. Our officers have come from all corners of the city, and two-thirds of reserve officers reside outside of Minneapolis.
