Councilman Gilliam stated he understood there were concerns regarding auxiliary
policemen carrying firearms. He suggested that the individuals be permitted to carry the
firearms if they receive the same training as a regular policeman. Any auxiliary
policeman who would take the time to take the some training as a police officer should

have taken the course should paid at a higher rate than those officers who have not taken
the training.

have full training. The guidelines of the accreditation program require training for the
