§ 98-107. Qualifications of members.

(a)

The police chief shall establish the requirements to be met by persons to qualify to become members of the auxiliary police unit. Such requirements shall include but need not be limited to physical, mental, aptitude, personality inventory and character standards and the mandatory training of such persons, for a minimum of 80 hours, in the field of police work. It shall be the duty of the police chief to provide such training for such persons and also any further training for members which the police chief may deem to be necessary or desirable.

(b)

Whenever all of the requirements to qualify to become a member shall have been met by any person, the person may be appointed and sworn in as a member by the police chief or by a person designated by the police chief for such purpose. However, the police chief or any such designated person, with or without cause therefor, need not appoint and swear in any particular person as a member.

(c)

The police chief, with or without cause, may terminate any member at any time without a hearing, and any member may resign as such at any time by written notification thereof to the police chief. Any member who shall cease to be such shall immediately surrender all property of the city issued to the member pursuant to this article or otherwise.
