SUPPORT SERVICES
Community Service Officers Community service officers serve under the Support Services Division. The Owatonna Police Department employees six community service officers. There are one part-time and two full-time CSOs that are stationed under contract with the Owatonna School District that provide a uniform presence to maintain safety and security of staff and students. Three CSO’s work directly with the uniformed Patrol Division and have the two main responsibilities of animal control (including maintenance at the animal shelter) and parking control and ordinance enforcement. The community service officers also do many other non-emergency police duties and administrative tasks that serve as a support function to the entire department which allows license officers and administrative staff to remain engaged in higher priority tasks.
