Volunteer Selection

The Redmond Police Volunteer Program was designated as a VIPS (Volunteers in Police Service) Program in 2003. Because a law enforcement agency deals with highly sensitive and confidential information and is held to the highest standards of trust and accountability by the public, we take great care before accepting any candidate to work here, including volunteers. Our complete application and screening process takes several weeks and includes a series of interviews, reference checks, an extensive background investigation, and polygraph test. Please review our minimum requirements before submitting your application.

To learn more about the current volunteer opportunities in the Redmond Police Department Volunteer Program and the application process, contact the Redmond Police Volunteer Program Coordinator Aggie Dennehy at adennehy@redmond.gov.
