Rangely creates Community Service Officer division; Lacy Coker named supervisor
Summary
The council heard a report on restructuring the police department to create a Community Service Officer division combining animal control, code enforcement and other non-sworn tasks; Lacy Coker was introduced as the CSO supervisor.
Rangely officials announced a reorganization within the police department to create a Community Service Officer (CSO) division that consolidates animal control, code enforcement and other non-sworn tasks to increase cross-training and coverage.
A police official explained that moving animal control and code enforcement under the CSO umbrella will help when single employees are absent and will improve coverage for routine tasks such as VIN inspections, shelter oversight and traffic control for parades.
Lacy Coker, who said she was previously the code enforcement officer, introduced herself as the new CSO supervisor and described planned cross-training and expanded coverage. "As of yesterday I am the Community Service Officer supervisor ... animal control and code enforcement will definitely not be lacking," she said, and reported the town shelter had four dogs and zero cats, noting one dog is expected to be adopted in May.
The item was presented as a report on personnel and operations; the transcript records no formal vote on the reorganization.
