COMMUNITY SERVICES OFFICERS Community Services Officers (CSOs) are non-sworn civilian employees whose primary function is to take and process police reports. However, their duties also include the collection of evidence, enforcement of city parking regulations and ordinances, traffic control, operational assistance with special events, response to non-hazardous calls for service, and involvement in missing persons investigations. RPD currently employs three CSOs: Mark Greenwell has served in this position since 1997; Tazy Ciofalo since 1998; and Luana Johnson since 1999.
HONOR GUARD RPD’s Honor Guard mission is to attend special events as a highly disciplined team serving with honor, respect, and dignity at ceremonial functions including funeral services for active/retired personnel. They also provide comfort and compassion for the survivors. These events are approved by the Chief of Police or designee and training is accomplished through drilling in military etiquette and attention to detail. The Honor Guard is a collateral duty assignment consisting of one lieutenant, two sergeants, and ten officers. In 2015 the Honor Guard attended thirteen funerals, eight memorials, three parades, and seventeen Honor Guard events.
EXPLORERS The RPD Explorer Program is for young men and women interested in learning about law enforcement careers. Designed for students between the ages of fourteen and twenty, the program offers the opportunity for community involvement while gaining valuable law enforcement knowledge.
