How do I obtain the required training to be a reserve

June 13, 2025

Most Bay Area Community Colleges and other educational institutions that have an Administration of Justice Program do sponsor the necessary training for each level of Reserve Officer.  There are several colleges within the nine Bay Area Counties which offer these programs throughout the year.

Reserve Officer Level III courses normally will last one full semester (162 hours).  Contact the training facility of your choice to determine the availability and schedule of the next class.   You can also find a list of all courses offered in the State by visiting the P.O.S.T. website at: www.post.ca.gov
