Community Service Officer Review <br />Prepared by Captain Cotroneo <br />Our Community Service Officer (CSO) was again kept very busy in 2007, <br />with his various duties and responsibilities. <br />Kiel Rushton was our CSO in 2007. He <br />worked as a part time employee for the <br />first six months of the year, and changed <br />to full time status on July 15`. Our <br />department is very fortunate to have Kiel <br />on board full time, as he's proven to be a <br />great asset to us. Kiel is a law <br />enforcement student, working to <br />complete his training to eventually <br />become a police officer. Kiel is also a ranking member of the Reserve Unit, <br />and volunteers many hours to the City. <br />In 2007, the CSO documented over 500 events throughout the year. Some <br />of the duties performed by the CSO are as follows: <br />• Parking Issues <br />• Animal/Wildlife Complaints <br />• Squad Equipment Inventory <br />• Facilitate Maintenance of Squads <br />• Transports/Prisoners and Detox <br />• Vehicle Lockouts <br />• Document Delivery <br />• Miscellaneous Office Duties <br />Having the CSO available to complete these duties, keeps officers in the <br />city, and free to respond to calls for service. <br />The CSO also is responsible for setting up and monitoring the use of the <br />speed cart. The cart is placed randomly, throughout the City. It helps by <br />reminding motorists about the speed they travel on city streets, as well as <br />with educating the public. <br />22 <br />
