SUMMARY
The Hayward Police Department requested to update: the duties; knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA); and minimum qualifications for the classification of Community Service Officer. The request was primarily due to the California Board of Corrections Standards and Training changing defense tactics from basic defense to advanced defensive tactics methods. The City is also eliminating the requirement of a typing certificate and instead will assess the ability to use modern office applications. Additionally, alternate methods to qualify were added to the Community Service Officer job specification to include language for lateral applicants and the near classification of Police Officer academy graduates as qualifying.
