The CSO program was started in 1981 as a way to help the Police Officers, in patrolling the interior of the campus and to teach the students how a Police department operated. Many CSO’s went on to pursue successful careers in law enforcement and rose through the ranks in their departments. While others went, onto careers in the military, private security, business, etc. However, many who started as CSO’s have stayed at the College becoming Police Officers including one who is now the lieutenant and has served as interim chief. There have also been CSO’s who went to other Police departments as Officers to return the College as Police Officers. Unfortunately, due to the inability to sufficiently staff the CSO program and budgeting, the program was terminated in 2001. The CSO program has cultivated many careers, and hopefully will be instituted again.
