About The Position

The Police Officer 2 provides a full range of police services by enforcing state, federal, and local laws and campus regulations through active foot and mobile patrols. This is an experienced-level position that receives general supervision from a higher-level police official and does not exercise supervision. The role differs from Police Officer 1 by its experienced-level duties and from Police Officer 3 by the absence of lead-worker responsibilities or routine involvement in specialized assignments involving complex police operations.

Duties include protecting lives and property, investigating crimes and accidents, providing first aid and emergency services, enforcing parking, traffic, and campus regulations, and conducting crime-prevention and security programs. The officer may provide guard service, direct traffic, maintain records of radio, telephone, and teletype activity, monitor alarm systems and police radio frequencies, operate police network computers, and dispatch officers in response to calls when necessary. Current 2100-PSE (Protective Services Exam) scores or a valid exemption are required.

Applicants must have at least one year of law enforcement experience, though every 30 semester hours earned at an accredited college or university substitutes for one year of required experience. Applicants must be at least 18 and hold a current Louisiana driver's license. Active POST certification may be required. Applicants convicted of a felony or under indictment on a felony charge are disqualified until granted relief from applicable state and federal legal disabilities.
