Community Service Specialists
The Community Service Specialist (C.S.S.) program is an integral
part of service provided by the Patrol Division. C.S.S. are
non-sworn personnel trained and experienced in the field of basic
Crime Scene Investigation and taking crime reports. They often
respond out to citizen's residences and other locations within the
city to process crime scenes for finger prints, take photo graphs,
and to thoroughly document crimes. Frequently they assist Officers
on complex crime scenes when requested. The C.S.S. unit is also
tasked with documenting all reported graffiti through photographs
and a specialized reporting process.
The C.S.S. unit stays very busy with basic Crime Scene
Investigation, crime reporting, graffiti documentation, and speed
trailer deployment. They can often be seen out in the community
driving white pick-up trucks identified as Community Service
Specialists for Boise Police helping to make Boise the most
liveable city.
