Community Service Officer
CSOs are not armed and perform a variety of duties and services in support of basic police operations and functions which do not require the legal powers of a sworn police officer. This experience can prove to be invaluable to any individual who desires to enter the field of law, law enforcement or any of the social sciences. CSOs are generally assigned to ATV, bicycle and foot patrol and are scheduled to work day and nightshifts. CSOs will be provided uniforms to Department specifications, including duty belts and other duty equipment. Minimum Requirements: Must be at least 18 years old.
The starting hourly rate for CSOs is $25.00 per hour. (Please note that the advertised hourly pay rate may increase by $2 per hour, pending approval at the Annual Town Meeting.)”
Housing for the summer is available for $125.00 per week.
The deadline for applications is February 28, 2025.
The hiring process consists of a criminal background check, oral interview and a drug screening urinalysis.
The electronic interviews will be held in early spring.
