SDSU Police Department

Law Enforcement Community Service Officer Training Program

The SDSU Police Department offers currently employed Community Service Officers the opportunity to partake in the law enforcement training program. The CSOs who wish to take advantage of this opportunity learn about law enforcement first-hand. Students are exposed to a variety of learning opportunities. They attend lectures where they learn about criminal law and procedures from the penal and vehicle codes, case law and court practices, drug violations and addiction, prisoner processing and searches, police tactics and other law enforcement procedures. The students tour the San Diego County Jail, crime lab, and partake in scenario exercises and training. The CSOs who attend this training then ride with patrol officers and are able to use what they learn through the program and assist police officers in the field. The goal of the program is to ready those students interested in careers in law enforcement through practical learning exercises and experiences.
