In 2002, the Walnut Creek Police Department Reserve Division celebrated its 50th Anniversary.  In honor to all those that have served the City of Walnut Creek and its citizens, we will be posting quite a bit of historical information to this site.  As one can imagine, trying to reconstruct 50 years of service is taking a little time.   Please check back again in the near future for updates.  In the mean time, here are a few photos from various stages in our past.  The captions and descriptions are pending...
