MONTEBELLO POLICE DEPARTMENT

The Montebello Police Department’s Reserve Corps includes sworn volunteers from throughout Southern California. The members come from a wide variety of backgrounds and professions. Their common bond is their commitment to volunteerism and their love for law enforcement.

Coordinated by a Lieutenant and a Sergeant, Reserve Officers serve in Patrol, Traffic, the Detective Bureau, the Narcotics Bureau, and Personnel & Training. In addition, Reserve Officers assist with tactical alert situations, National Night Out, and the Department’s numerous holiday functions. Reserve Officers also volunteer their time in planning and staffing numerous other city events including the Department’s DUI/CDL checkpoints.

Over the years the Reserve Corps has also been instrumental in preparing men and women to become full time police officers. Many of the full time police officers currently working for the department were once members of the Reserve Corps.

The Chaplain program is designed to offer a professional religious and social ministry to department personnel and citizens of the Montebello. Chaplains are on-call 24 hours a day. They voluntarily provide counseling for a variety of issues, many of which are common to the law enforcement profession. If you are interested in the program, please email Sergeant Marc Marty at mmarty@cityofmontebello.com.
