Community Service Officer

Welcome to the University of Oregon Police Department Community Service Officer Program. This program provides an alternative pathway to police services for our University of Oregon students. Community Service Officers perform many functions within the police supporting campus safety. Community Service Officers are highly trained, unarmed, non-sworn professional members of the police department. All Community Service Officers receive a plethora of professional training.
