reserve officer

Civilian military member

A reserve officer is a military officer who serves part-time rather than on active duty, typically training periodically while maintaining civilian employment.

Reserve officers can be called to active service during emergencies or wartime: Several reserve officers in our unit were activated for the deployment.

The term also applies to auxiliary law enforcement officers who serve voluntarily alongside regular police.
