Public Safety Aide PO

About this role

The Public Safety Aide performs a wide variety of tasks (such as responding to parking and traffic related calls, issuing parking citations, serving civil papers, and preparing related reports and/or documentation) which do not require the authority of a sworn law enforcement officer. Actual work performed will vary according to assignment. The Public Safety Aide is a civilian position within the Rio Rancho Police Department (this position does not have arrest powers).  Incumbent will operate a motor vehicle as necessary for assigned tasks.   The ideal candidate for this position is someone who is seeking future advancement opportunities in law enforcement with the Rio Rancho Police Department after serving in this civilian capacity. Therefore, when eligible, the incumbent must make an effort to transition (through open recruitment) to a police cadet.
