Nothing like a bunch of people getting upset about the wording of an article. Jesus. I think the point is they are giving jobs out to non post certified positions for certain jobs in the department like desk jobs that don't need to be criminal investigators which save the department and tax payers money while putting more officers back on the street. In DO CO those non post certified volunteers help block traffic on accidents, wait for tow trucks after accidents, DUI's, and other times when a vehicle might need towing to put the officer back "into service" to respond to the next call. Lone Tree also uses volunteers similarly. And yes, most officers get to sleep in their beds when they do sleep, but may not being doing it at night or on holidays like most other professions.
