The CSO is a uniformed, non-sworn member of the Police Department that handles many non-emergency, non-life-threatening calls for service.

  • Traffic control
  • Parking enforcement
  • Providing relief to school crossing guards

  • Transporting evidence
  • Assisting the Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit in administrative tasks and material distribution 

This position requires an individual who communicates effectively, demonstrates a command of Village regulations, attention to detail, integrity, a dedication to providing outstanding customer service, sound independent judgment and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a team environment.

This position also requires the ability to work traffic control in all weather conditions, communicate over a police radio, and utilize a computer, including becoming proficient in applicable software utilized as part of daily duties.

Minimum Education, Experience & Training:

  • High school degree or GED certificate required; 30 hours of coursework at an accredited College/University in police science, fire science or a public safety related field is preferred.
  • Two (2) years of related work experience (i.e. prior law enforcement, fire service, municipal code inspector and/or animal control experience) preferred.

Candidates for position must possess a current and valid:

  • Illinois motor vehicle operator's license
  • Firearm Owners Identification Card 

Position Information:

Must be available Monday – Friday. The hours of work will typically be 5:30pm – 9:30pm, except the first Monday of every month the hours will be 4:30 pm -9:30 pm. Hours may vary and include day and afternoon/evening hours. In rare occasions, weekend and holiday work may be needed.

Successful candidate must:

  • Hold a valid Illinois driver’s license and Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card
  • Be able to pass a post offer physical and drug screen and a background check 

Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, resume and three professional references to the application portal at:

Position will be posted until filled.
