New Brunswick CSO
Community Service Officers (CSOs) are full-time students who are uniformed, unarmed paid employees of the RUPD. Many of them go on to careers in law enforcement or public service. All CSO's receive 40 hours of formal training through the New Jersey College and University Public Safety Association prior to assignment of duties.
Becoming a CSO, an Emergency Service Officer (ESO) or an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) can open the door to careers in security services, law enforcement, emergency medical services and fire safety.
