Community Service Officers of the Nampa Police Department are non-sworn uniformed police technicians who are responsible for:

– basic criminal investigations, i.e., theft, stolen vehicles, etc.
– traffic control assistance on crashes where travel lanes are being restricted
– exchange of information between involved parties
– towing abandoned vehicles
– basic collection of investigative information
– evidence on cold crime scenes
– entry of juvenile runaways
– lost\/found property
– vandalism\/graffiti

Community Service Officers are instrumental in ensuring the availability of sworn police officers to conduct more critical patrol activities.

One CSO specializes in crime prevention and coordinates our Public Safety Academy, Neighborhood Watch programs, Ride-a-longs, Bike Auction, National Night Out, etc.

CSO is an excellent opportunity for a motivated individual seeking variety and challenge in an area of law enforcement which does not involve criminal enforcement activity such as making arrests or serving warrants. However, this is a great place to begin learning about law enforcement if you are considering the next step of becoming a police officer.

CSO’s perform a variety of important law enforcement duties and respond to calls for service from members of the public in appropriate circumstances.
