Workers' compensation benefits may be provided for reserves by the governing body in the same manner that benefits are provided for full-time detention officers.
For purposes of compensation or benefits arising from duty-related injury or death, reserves must be considered employees of the political entities for which they were appointed and must be included with regular duty detention officers in the assigned responsibility for prevention, suppression, and control of crime.
