Marysville Police Department to hire community service officers for less serious calls
MARYSVILLE, Wash. — The Marysville Police Department will soon look to hire three community service officers to assist with less serious calls.
The Marysville City Council on Monday approved the addition to the department in an attempt to free up commissioned officers for emergency calls and to reduce response times.
Community service officers can respond to cold-theft calls, non-injury and non-traffic-blocking accidents, abandoned vehicles, parking issues and other misdemeanor-related offenses that do not have suspect information, according to the city.
The police department currently has one community service officer who primarily works on animal-control cases.
