Community Services
Cadets
The duties of the cadets are to serve subpoenas, assist people who walk in for fingerprinting (job related & court ordered). They process any juvenile offenders who are brought in by filling out the juvenile forms, contacting the juvenile referee and parents and complete the warrant request. On occasion, they may be called upon to assist with school crossing guard duties.
Community Services Unit
As part of the Battle Creek Police Department’s commitment to Community Oriented Policing, the Community Services Unit is dedicated to enhancing community connections between neighbors, and the officers that serve them. Through partnerships with businesses, organizations, and citizen groups we strive to provide programs for residents and especially children to enhance their quality of life in the Battle Creek Community. The Unit consists of a Sergeant and two grant funded civilian personnel.
