City of Coon Rapids Logo Community Service Officers

Community Service Officers (CSOs) are part-time non-sworn uniformed employees who assist the Department by handling duties such as animal control, parking enforcement, aiding motorists, vehicle lockouts and traffic control that don’t require a police officer.

CSO’s must be law enforcement students enrolled in college level law enforcement studies, and are limited to four years of employment with the Department.

Many CSO’s have been hired as police officers by the Department and other law enforcement agencies.
