Rangely police create Community Service Officer division; Lacey Coker named supervisor

Rangely Town Council · March 26, 2025

Summary

The police chief announced a reorganization creating a Community Service Officer division to consolidate animal control and code enforcement duties; Lacey Coker was introduced as the CSO supervisor and gave an update on the town shelter.

Rangely’s police department has created a Community Service Officer (CSO) division to consolidate non‑sworn duties including animal control, code enforcement and inspections, the police chief told the council. The reorganization is intended to improve cross‑training and coverage for events such as parades and to reduce service gaps when staff are unavailable.

The chief said CSO staff will be cross‑trained to cover animal control, code enforcement and inspections and that Lacey Coker will serve as CSO supervisor. “I just wanted to address the council on some restructuring that we did, within the police department, and created a community service officer division,” the chief said. Coker, who said she was previously the code enforcement officer, reported the animal shelter was down to four dogs and zero cats and described plans to reduce surrenders and work with other shelters.
