New Hope Police Reserves are an all-volunteer unit dedicated to the safety and well-being of New Hope residents. They fill essential roles in both police operations and crime prevention related activities. Working weekend evenings, they assist sworn patrol officers on calls for service, parking enforcement, animal calls, and medical emergencies. In addition to patrol shifts and call-outs, Reserves also assist at New Hope events such as City Day, Safety Camp, and Duk Duk Daze. New Hope Police Reserves also receive requests to assist neighboring reserve units at their city events.

All New Hope Reserve Officers must complete a 10-week course in Reserve training put on by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office. If you have questions or are interested in applying to be a New Hope Reserve Officer, please contact Sgt. Chris Swaja or Reserve Capt. Todd Hesemann at 763-531-5170  or email [email protected].
