The Police Department: The members of the Concord Police Department are dedicated to providing the highest quality police services in order to enhance community safety, protect life and property, and reduce crime and the fear of crime. To do this, we pledge to develop a partnership with the community, lead a community commitment to resolve problems, and improve the safety and quality of life in our city. What you will be doing in this role: Community Service Officers are an integral part of the Police Department, performing various routine law enforcement-related tasks that do not require the authority of a sworn police officer, thus ensuring the availability of sworn police officers to conduct more critical patrol activities. This current opening in the Police Department 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. Community Service Officers have the opportunity to rotate amongst multiple program areas including the Community Service Desk, Administration, Property, and Traffic/Parking Enforcement. Duties may include answering multiple telephone lines and responding to a wide variety of questions from the public over the phone and in person; receiving, classifying, and recording complaints; issuing citations and towing vehicles; receiving and maintaining security of property seized as evidence; using various manuals and computer systems to access, input, and retrieve information in response to requests.
