Getting to Know Your Community Services Officers |
|
The Town of Bennett recently hired two new Community Services Officers (CSO).
The goal of the CSOs is to support Bennett residents in creating a healthy and fun community.
The officers act as liaisons between the Adams and Arapahoe County Sheriff Departments, advising them of suspicious activities that may occur in the community, and assisting with other duties such as traffic control and some traffic enforcement.
They are also responsible for animal control and help with lost dogs, pet licensing, chicken and duck permits, investigating animal abuse/neglect cases as well as helping with other animal complaints.
The CSOs are here to help with code compliance, maintaining a positive relationship with residents and assisting with Town events. Recently, they helped deliver meals for Breakfast with Santa and distributed toys for the Holiday Help Program.
The officers are committed to helping create a safe, happy and healthy Bennett Community. If you see them around Town, introduce yourself. They are always looking to help out our Bennett neighbors!
More information on the Community Services Department can be found here.
