Part-time Police Officer Program
The Part-time Police Officer Program provides additional manpower in special situations and augments normal law enforcement operations. Our Part-time Police Officers exercise full law enforcement powers while serving as members of the Department and function as “SOLO” officers once they have successfully completed the FTO program. They are held to the same standards for recruit training, continued education training, and firearms training. It is the policy of the Jacksonville Beach Police Department to maintain a unit of Part-time Police Officers in accordance with the definition in Florida Statute 943.10(6) for “Part-Time” Police Officers.
