Cloverdale welcomed two new reserve officers at the October Town Hall meeting.

While five new reserve officers were chosen, only two were available to be officially sworn in on October 12. Both Darren Cox and Jess Siple are experienced officers. Cox worked in both Avon and Greencastle and was a former police chief, while Siple has worked both Bainbridge and Greencastle.

Reserve officers assist the full time officers throughout the year. During the month of September, reserve officer worked nine full days and assisted with delivering warrants as well as traffic stops.

Cox and Siple will join the existing reserve officers and bring with them a wealth of experience. Deputy Senior stated both Cox and Siple would be valuable assets to the Cloverdale law enforcement team.
