The same selection standards apply to reserve officers, “regular” officers, or any other peace officer classification. Why?
A.The POST peace officer selection standards apply equally to all peace officer candidates, given the purpose of these regulations: to ensure that all officers selected– regardless of rank or Penal Code classification – are physically, mentally and morally capable of successfully performing the duties of a peace officer. Differences in the job functions of peace officers should be addressed in agency-specific requirements consistent with additional job functions and responsibilities.
