Community Service Officer
The Community Service
Officer (CSO) is a non-sworn, uniformed employee whose primary
duties are code and ordinance enforcement, parking regulation,
animal control and motorist assistance.
The CSO also assists sworn officers with traffic control and
direction at accidents and special events, and performs many other
duties that do not require the expertise of a sworn police officer.
Canine Officer
 |
Prairie du Chien's first
canine officer was added to the force in 2008. Canine
"Aja" and her partner, Officer Heather Gokey, are currently
assigned to evening patrol and have established an excellent
record of accomplishment during their first year of service. |
Going "Green"
 |
The Prairie du Chien Police
Department went "Green" in 2009 with the addition of an
electric vehicle to the fleet. The GEM car will
primarily be used for special events, parking enforcement
and directed patrol duties. |
Zodiac Rescue Boat
 |
The Police Department's 25
foot Zodiac rescue boat was acquired in 2009 from the 10-33
Surplus Property Program after having served for five years
with the Naval Special Warfare Program in Little Creek,
Virginia. The Zodiac is shared by both the Police and
Fire Departments as needed for rescue and patrol duties. |
