Join the Reserve Officer Program

Becoming a Reserve Officer

DuPont Police Department (DPD) is a modern, full-service, values-based police agency consisting of dedicated and ethical law enforcement professionals.  We serve a community located along the I-5 corridor, 15 minutes south of Tacoma and next to the west coast’s largest military installation, Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). DuPont is home to just under 10,000 residents, most of whom are military personnel, veterans and other working class families. The community has schools, businesses and numerous community events throughout the year. 

A reserve program is crucial to the development of our Police Department. The attached pages will explain the requirements for becoming a Reserve Officer with the Police Department for the City of DuPont.

As you will see, the expectations are high; however, the rewards are many. Our core values are Duty, Professionalism and Dedication, and each of us realizes a great sense of community pride that comes from the satisfaction of helping our neighbors and friends in the DuPont community.

Once you have turned in your applications, a background investigation will be conducted. You will be advised by mail of the status of your application. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Sergeant Dan Saboe or call at (253) 964-7060. Thank you for your interest in becoming a DuPont Police Reserve Officer.
