The Solano Community College Department of Public Safety Community Service Officer (CSO) Student Internship Program plays an indispensable role in the day to day operations of the department. Our CSOs are composed of students who volunteer their time in order to earn college credit units and gain law enforcement work experience at the same time. CSOs may be required to perform tasks that require physical exertion, stamina, flexibility and standing or walking for long periods of time.

CSOs assist with building security, traffic control, motorist assistance, writing reports and other public services as needed at the main campus in Fairfield and/or the Vacaville or Vallejo Center.  CSOs will provide information to the public; make written and oral reports of any hazardous condition impacting the college and its community. CSOs are expected to perform a variety of clerical and secretarial tasks to provide information to students, faculty, staff and the general public. CSOs must successfully pass a background investigation. Please note that our background investigations can take up to 30-60 days.
