Pretty sure his law enforcement credentials are mostly honorary. He was a reserve officer for some small town and in charge of training.
Ayoob's reserve status would depend whether or not he was a sworn Reserve officer/deputy who attended a POST Academy, or if he were an "auxiliary" officer, not sworn and unable to perform regular law enforcement duties. I know that some departments utilize auxiliary officers and others departments have sworn Reserve officers, POST certified, who while on duty, have full law enforcement authority just as regular or full time officers.
I have no idea what Ayoob's status was. I remember he was with some department back East somewhere, but can't remember the name of the city.
FWIW.
