§ 2-200. Compensation; benefits.

Members of the police reserve force will serve without compensation. Uniforms may be provided to the reserve police officers at the discretion of the chief of police. The city may provide hospital and medical assistance to members of the police reserve force who sustain injury in the course of performing official duties, in the same manner as provided by the city for its full-time police officers, and reserve officers shall be eligible for death benefits as set out in Vernon's Ann. Civ. St. art. 6228f. Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize or permit a member of a police reserve force to become eligible for participation in any pension fund created pursuant to state statutes, to which regular officers may become members by payroll deductions or otherwise. Reserve police officers shall act only in a supplementary capacity to the regular police force and shall in no case assume the full-time duties of regular police officers.
