In2 2016, the City Council decided to utilize a portion of the City's COPS fund in developing a Community Services Officer program. The thought was that a CSO position in Bradbury could be helpful in the focusing of crime prevention, as well as taking on some of the non-law enforcement duties to assist the community. The idea was also that the CSO would be able to take fingerprints, write reports, and handle evidence. Ultimately, the City decided to move forward with sharing a Community Services Officer with the City of Monrovia. In2017, the CSO program launched, and the City has had very positive feedback from the community.
