Each new member of the Sheriff’s reserve unit shall serve on probation a minimum of six months and a maximum of 12 months following the date of his or her appointment. During said period of probation, he or she shall be a member on probation and shall have only such power, authority and duties as are assigned to him or her, from time to time, by the Sheriff. Upon completion of six months, and at any time before expiration of 12 months of probation, the Sheriff may transfer any such member from probationary to active status. If the Sheriff does not transfer any such member from probationary to active status before the expiration of 12 months of probation, such member shall be dropped automatically from membership in the Sheriff’s reserve unit.
