The Nantucket Massachusetts Police Department is requesting your assistance in recruiting suitable persons for the position of Community Service Officer for the 2016 Summer Season.

Community Service Officers (CSO) are not armed and perform a variety of duties and services in support of basic police operations and functions which do not require the legal powers of a sworn police officer. This experience can prove to be invaluable to any individual who desires to enter the field of law, law enforcement or any of the social sciences. CSO’s are generally assigned to bicycle, foot patrol and beach patrol. CSO’s are required to purchase their own uniforms to Department specifications. The Department does provide duty belts and other duty equipment other than basic uniform apparel. The starting hourly rate for CSO’s is $16.00 per hour. Housing for the summer is available for $95.00 per week.

The hiring process consists of a criminal background check, oral interview and a physical examination. The interviews are scheduled to occur April 2 & 3, 2016. For successful applicants, there will be a training program scheduled to start on June 6, 2016 and then employment will continue through Labor Day. A copy of our employment application can be obtained from the Department web site at http://www.nantucket-ma.gov/195/Police-Department. You can either print or complete the application on your computer. It is suggested that you use Adobe Acrobat® Reader to complete the application. The deadline for completed applications to be mailed with ORIGINAL signatures is February 28, 2016. FAX copies will not be accepted.
