Volunteer police officers are usually called reserve or auxiliary police. Not all states or agencies have reserves, and some employ some or all of them in a non-sworn capacity where they do not have powers of arrest or carry firearms. More commonly, reserve or auxiliary police officers and sheriff's deputies have training similar to regularly-salaried officers, wear the same uniform and equipment, including firearms, and have the same powers of arrest while on duty. Most do not have these same police powers while off duty, although regular police officers do.

Volunteer police officers' authority and responsibilities vary depending on the jurisdiction and organization they serve. In some cases, they may be authorized to carry firearms if they meet the necessary training and qualification requirements. However, it ultimately depends on the policies and regulations set by the specific law enforcement agency they volunteer for.
