Any known CSO positions in Stockton/Sacramento/SF Bay area?

[Horse27]

I hate to ask this but I've been browsing for a while for CSO positions in the Stockton/Sacramento and SF bay area but really haven't found anything. The few CSO positions I found are for colleges which most requires you to be a student. If anyone knows of any depts. that are hiring for CSO in this tough economy let me know, I am interested.

Just my own thoughts...

It might be tough to find a non-sworn CSO position when many agencies are fighting not to cut sworn officers. Good luck to you.
