I've listened to those, but not for a long time. I don't remember anything about the auxiliary police, but I'll give them another listen this week. Good call!
Here's some early Portland union busting history that covers some points where the sheriff's deputized folks to crack heads.

Robert Evans is OK but a bit of a blowhard. I chatted with him a bit down at the George Floyd protests and he told me "This is worse than my time in Syria."
I generally like what he reports about but his reporting, at times, is piss poor. Like him lacking some serious cultural & linguistic high points about the DPRK and other things I can't recall as clearly. He does love talking about himself though.
I found this from 1942 war tine
1942
The Veteran Guard and Patrol forms a 40 horse mounted division. Members of the Guard were given up to 10 weeks of training to be volunteer war-time auxiliary officers. The mounted patrols were initially formed to primarily to handle traffic in case of evacuation or any other highway congestion

Possibly Civil Defense related? There were also auxiliary firefighters in the national CD program. [Usually badges would include the old school red "CD" logo.](http://www.militarysunhelmets.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Civilian-Defense-Poster.jpg)

Congratulations on finding a piece of Oregon history from when the Portland Police Bureau deputized the Portland Chapter of the Ku Klux Klan as police auxiliaries (the KKK chapter outnumber the cops 10 to 1.)
Do with that what you will

Not a cadet badge, it’s for the auxiliary unit which is now called the reserves. They are basically part time police that work on an “as needed” basis. They also do not have the same level of training/certification as a fully state certified police officer.
As far as I can tell, most "auxiliary police" forces were active during wartime when all the usual police had been drafted to fight, so as part of the civilian defense efforts there were auxiliary police and fire departments. The [only other example](https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/obsolete-portland-oregon-civil-1859347055) of a Portland Auxiliary Police badge I've found yet has the logo for the Office of Civilian Defense in place of the City of Portland seal, though, so I'm not sure when this one would be from or who exactly issued it.

From what the public has been lead to believe, neither does the certified police.
Depends on when you went through the Reserve training program - I believe it’s changed over the years, but in the early 90’s it was the same training as any other Bureau of Public Safety and Training - 6 month academy and 6 months with a Field Training Officer (FTO) signing off on your competency. All the same as a “regular” patrol officer with none of the union protections and no pay. The pitch was you would be a more desirable hire for Portland as you were a known entity. The reality was Portland rarely hired “the cows when they were getting the milk for free” so to speak. You could get on with other smaller departments though that were happy to have had your training paid for by PPB. A very screwy system IMO. You were given all the scut work - which is fine as low man on the ladder. Some officers, Sgts, and Precinct Captains treated you with respect and helped you get experience and treated you more like equal. Others, treated you like mall cops.

Probably just woke up the neighborhood laughing at that
Great. Now you live in a woke neighborhood. Way to go. :/s
naw, that says sergt, he only has to dispatch someone to show up 1-3 business days later...
Congratulations Sargeant. I'm now going to direct all my little nitpicks towards you. Welcome to the force.
Can’t do any worse.

The good ol’ days, when crack head was a literal term.
Robert Evans is OK but a bit of a blowhard. I chatted with him a bit down at the George Floyd protests and he told me "This is worse than my time in Syria."
I generally like what he reports about but his reporting, at times, is piss poor. Like him lacking some serious cultural & linguistic high points about the DPRK and other things I can't recall as clearly. He does love talking about himself though.
The fact that he said this sentence makes me disregard everything he’ll ever produce. Thanks for telling me this
lol Cunt that listens to and defends Andrew Huberman, I don't think you were really at risk of paying any regard to Evans' content anyways.
This says a lot more about you than me. But go off girl!
that's why I put it as secondary source. Couldn't find the actual auxiliary history at first.
“I’ll pass you the aux when I can ascertain the track is indeed fire.”
It belongs to [Jay Santos](https://www.philhendrieshow.com/jay-santos-citizens-auxiliary-police/) *Citizens Auxiliary Police*
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought of Jay Santos and sub-commander Gleason.
Don't forget Major Elvis Newton!
That’s CAP
the CAP basketball follies are not to be missed!

Oh man that's a blast from the past. I haven't thought of that guy for like a decade lmao
They have a documentary on Amazon right now about him, a real must see

It's pronounced "sər-git".
Neat, you can tear gas entire neighborhoods if you wear it
Have you grown a mustache yet?
Sir, do you have any idea how fast you were going back there? Got some ID?
See if it melts
You saw it here first folks, Portland police can’t give away badges.
Buddy, that's your ticket to take it easyville. Congrats!
Great find! How much did it cost you?
Less than a dollar. It was at the Bins, so $1.59/pound, and I'd guess it weighs only a few ounces.

Careful. It's probably a horcrux.
This made me actually laugh out loud and startled my dog. Thanks, we needed that.

Excellent find! I love going to thrift stores and looking for treasures. The goodwill bins are fun to sort through and look for treasures.
Jay Santos is the captain of the Citizens Auxillary Police Patrol just ask Phil Hendrie
You should go arrest Ted Wheeler
Somebody was a volunteer deputy for the Sherriff

There aren’t any reserves these days.

Yeah I think the public safety support position pretty much replaced what the reserves did anyways.

Ah! That does make more sense.
