Officers take part in county wide gang meetings, regional police training planning, and often assist local and state police agencies with law enforcement duties. Each officer is a member of the Police Officers Research Association of California. Community Service Officers are the first line of support for the police officers. Many are trained in, and have the responsibility for, field evidence, taking crime reports, parking enforcement, records management, and dispatch. They also provide general community oriented services such as battery jumps, door openings, and fingerprinting.
Cadets provide a high profile presence by being in uniform and carrying department radios.
They assist both the police officers and community service officers in their duties.
