PSNI full time reserve - what is this?

[Denn Forever]

There is much talk about this going as per Patten but what exactly is the PSNI full time reserve?

Also

"With the high threat of dissidents we need men with expertise - full-time reserve men do have that expertise."

Why don't these reservists not become full time PSNI officers?  Do current officers not have this expertise?

Why dont the dissidents see that all they are doing is keeping these hoors in employment.
