Officers of the Police Division Reserve Force shall serve as peace officers on the orders and at the discretion of the Chief of Police. Such officers, upon being activated by the Chief, and while on assigned duty, shall be vested with the rights, privileges, obligations and duties of any other peace officer of the State. No person appointed to the Reserve Force may carry a weapon or otherwise act as a peace officer until he or she has been approved by Council. After such approval, a Reserve Force officer may carry a weapon only when authorized by the Chief and only when discharging official duties as a duly constituted peace officer. A Reserve Force officer shall be subordinate to regular police officers, shall not serve as a peace officer unless under the direction of regular police officers, and, when serving with regular police officers, shall wear no insignia of rank.
