Latest version.
  • A police reserve officer who sustains injury in the course of performing official duties may receive hospital and medical assistance in the same manner as provided for full-time police officers; provided, however, that nothing in this article shall be construed to authorize or permit a member of the police reserves to become eligible for participation in any pension fund created pursuant to state statute, of which regular officers may become members by payroll deductions or otherwise. No member of the police reserves shall be entitled to any workers' compensation benefits.
