2003 COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER REVIEW <br /> Prepared by Sergeant Diegnau <br /> The Community Service Officer Unit, again for 2003, has been a very <br /> resourceful unit. It has been positive and shown to be a great asset to the St. <br /> Anthony Police Department. This unit is designed to allow non- <br /> sworn/civilian officers to respond to non-emergency/community service type <br /> calls. This activity allows sworn officers to remain available for more <br /> serious calls and continue general patrol duties. <br /> This unit consists of one part-time/non-swonVcivilian employee. This <br /> officer works a total of 20 hours per week. <br /> In 2003 the Community Service Officer Unit documented 493 incidents. A <br /> brief description of some of these incidents, which assists our patrol staff, <br /> are as follows: <br /> • Vehicle/Residential Lockouts <br /> • Traffic Control Incidents <br /> • Animal/Wildlife Complaints <br /> • Vehicle Parking Complaints <br /> • General Transports <br /> • Squad Maintenance <br /> • Squad Equipment Inventory <br /> Along with these types of incidents, the Community Service Officer Unit <br /> also assists the front office personnel with data entry, general assistance for <br /> citizen's at the front window, drop off and pick up packages, serve summons <br /> and subpoenas, miscellaneous errands, and pick up needed equipment. <br /> Again, this is just a brief summary and description of the area of <br /> responsibilities that are completed by this unit. <br /> Our goals for the year 2004 are to continue utilizing the unit as we have <br /> done so in the past. We would also like to bring this Community Service <br /> Officer Unit back to full strength by hiring a second part-time officer to join <br /> the unit. <br /> 22 <br />
