For the last 50 years the citizens of this community have come forward to help the Police in serving the needs of La Junta. 2009 is the 50th Anniversary of the La Junta Police Reserve program. As we start the new year we are looking for a few good men and women to join us in our goal of protecting and serving the citizens of La Junta. After being accepted into the La Junta Reserves, the police cadet undergoes over 200 hours of training. This training involves a variety of topics to include: Criminal Code, First Aid/CPR, Arrest Control, and Firearms. After completion of the La Junta Reserve Officer Academy the Reserve Officer is expected to give 12 hours a month to assist the patrol officers during their routine duties. Reserve Officers patrol the town while enforcing both state and local laws, under the guidance of a full-time officer. Reserve Officers complete reports, write tickets and assist the department in furthering our mission, "Committed to Community Needs". Reserve Officers are an integral part of the department and are a much needed asset. If you are interested in joining the La Junta Police Reserves, or would like more information, please send us an email to lajuntapd@hotmail.com. Please include your full name and a phone number to contact you.
Thank You,
Gilbert Davis, Reserve Lt.

The La Junta Police Reserve began in May of 1959. At that time it was considered a "front runner". It was the first volunteer police organization outside the Denver area. This unit has had over 100 dedicated public servants grace it's membership. Reserve Officers undergo over 200 hours of training to hold this position. Reserve Officers are often called upon to assist in major public events, natural disasters, major cases and routine patrol duties
