Community Service Officers

Boca Raton, Community Service OfficersThe Boca Raton Police Services Department employs 18 Community Service Officers. The primary functions of the CSOs are crash investigation, parking enforcement, traffic control, and taking reports over the telephone (Teleserve). In addition, the CSOs assist with marine patrol operations, the Crime Scene Unit with photography, juvenile assistance programs, and the staffing of our police annexes.

This program has served as a career path for several CSOs to go on to careers as certified police officers.

 

Canine Unit

The Canine (K-9) Unit is made up of three Canine Teams. All three canines are male German Shepherds imported from Europe. After a 12-14 week Basic Canine School, the canine teams are assigned to Road Patrol.

The canines are an invaluable tool for the Boca Raton Police Department. Due to their superior sense of smell they are able to locate dangerous suspects that are fleeing or hiding. By alerting to the suspects presence, the officers are able to remain safe. The dogs also assist in narcotics and explosive detection.

In addition, the canines perform numerous public safety demonstrations throughout the year. Each canine lives at home with their handler; and the teams are on call 24 hours a day.
