The Redmond Police Department recruits volunteers
willing to be involved and make a difference in our community.
Volunteers fill critical gaps in program support and contribute to
positive communication between the Redmond community and the Redmond
Police Department. Applicants are assigned based on their abilities and
which positions require the greatest need as defined by the department.
Currently, there is a high need of volunteers to work at the
Redmond Town Center Substation and Disabled Parking Enforcement.

Volunteer Selection
The Redmond Police Volunteer Program was designated as a
VIPS (Volunteers
in Police Service) Program in 2003. Because police handle sensitive information and
are held to the highest standards of trust and accountability by the public,
we take great care before accepting candidates to work or volunteer. Our application and screening process takes
several weeks and includes a series of interviews, reference checks, extensive background investigation, and polygraph test. Please review our
minimum requirements before submitting your application.

Redmond Police Explorers is a group of youth volunteers, ages 14-21,
who are interested in the field of Law Enforcement. There is no residency
requirement; current members hail from Redmond, Sammamish, Woodinville,
Bothell, and Carnation. Explorers may aspire to become police officers while
others are merely interested in learning about the profession while gathering community service hours. They also donate hours by
working at city events such as Derby Days and Redmond Lights, assisting the
Police Department with large crime scenes by conducting evidence searches
and controlling scene perimeters, and going on ride-alongs with patrol
officers.
The application process for the Post requires candidates to complete a
written application and pass an oral board. A thorough background
check is conducted in which references and criminal history are evaluated.
Explorers are required to have a minimum 2.0 grade point average, clean
criminal history, and be willing to commit to one year of volunteering.

Station. Interested youths are welcome to observe a meeting and must contact
Officer Julie Beard prior to doing so.
