I was hoping someone may have some better knowledge on the Community Service Officer position than me. The position I am applying for currently is paid unlike other departments where this position is unpaid. I am currently in the testing process for a bunch of departments around the area and figured the CSO position would be a great way to get my foot in the door and maybe have a better chance receiving a job with that specific department. Basically the position is explained on the website as sort of a supplemental patrol job to help relieve some of the duties from regular patrol officers.
My questions:
1) What are your opinions relating to the CSO position?
2) Do you think this will help when a position in patrol opens up?
Also, sort of a random question from which I am just curious. I have been an intern with the Office of Inspector General and have worked with the FBI, all unpaid intern work. I have received letter's of recommondation from both Special Agents in Charge of both agencies and am wondering whether or not to attach them to applications when I turn them in, even though they do not ask. Is there any negative attachment that goes along with doing this? I figure it can't hurt.
Thanks for any help!
