The Shakopee Police Department experienced one voluntary CSO termination. In the

been filled by Jaclyn (Scheerz) Yzennans and another position was filled by Timothy
Baker. Twenty hours remained budgeted for a third CSO position. Also, 10-hours
remain budgeted for a records technician position, which we would like to apply to the
C.S.O. position.
The Civil Service Commission recently conducted the necessary testing and a new
eligible register was created.
The following three names are currently listed on the eligible register, in alphabetical
order.
Travis Goerish
Adam Jacobson

30-hour per week, probationary part-time, Community Service Officer.
