Police Public Service Aides

PSA Graduation with Lt. Gurney and Chief Guzman's Assistant Quintanta

Public Service Aides (PSAs) are employed as paraprofessional apprentices whose responsibilities differ from police personnel in the area of enforcement authority. PSAs are non-sworn, unarmed civilian employees with no arrest or enforcement powers, except for the issuance of traffic citations in conjunction with accident investigations and parking violations. They handle routine reports and have no direct contact or involvement with criminal suspects.
