Redmond WA Police

🌞 Hot weather is here! As temperatures rise, take a few moments to check on neighbors, friends, and family members who may be more vulnerable to heat-related illness. Older adults, young children, and people with chronic health conditions are at greater risk. Encourage them to stay cool, limit time in the heat, and drink plenty of water throughout the day.

🚗 Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle, even for a short time. Temperatures inside a car can reach dangerous and deadly levels within minutes. Make it a habit to check your back seat before locking your vehicle.

Stay safe and stay cool, Redmond! 💧

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating June 19, 1865, when enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned that slavery had ended.

Juneteenth is a time to honor the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation's history. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the ongoing pursuit of equality, justice, and understanding.

We encourage our community to take time today to learn, reflect, and celebrate the significance of this important day.

Yesterday, Monday, June 15, as fans gathered for the first Seattle match, Redmond Police officers were on patrol throughout the city helping ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Our Mobile Command Post was deployed to monitor activity, support operations, and enhance situational awareness across Redmond. From managing increased activity around transit hubs and gathering areas to responding quickly to community needs, our officers were ready to serve.

Our Redmond Police Cadets were also on hand to assist with potential road closures and help keep traffic moving safely and efficiently throughout the day.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation and look forward to continuing to provide a safe environment for residents and visitors throughout the tournament. 🚓⚽🏆

Temperatures Are Climbing - Look Before You Lock

With temperatures expected to reach the 90s this weekend, it's important to remember that the inside of a vehicle can become dangerously hot in just minutes, even with the windows cracked.

Children and pets are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses, which can quickly become life-threatening.

Before you walk away from your vehicle:
🐾 Never leave pets unattended in a parked car.
👶 Always check the back seat before locking your vehicle.
🔑 Take your keys and lock your car to prevent children from climbing inside unnoticed.
📱 Place a purse, phone, or other essential item in the back seat as a reminder to check before exiting.
🚨 If you see a child or pet in distress inside a vehicle, call 911 immediately.

This weekend's heat is a good reminder that there is no safe amount of time to leave a child or pet in a parked vehicle. Together, we can prevent tragedy and keep our community safe.

Last week, Recruiting Officer C. Tomlinson and Corporal Rehaume traveled to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton for the First Responders Hiring Event, connecting with active-duty service members, veterans, military spouses, retirees, and family members interested in careers in public safety.

For Cpl. Rehaume, the event was especially meaningful as he had the opportunity to return to his old stomping grounds. Having been stationed at Camp Pendleton during his service in the Marine Corps, he enjoyed sharing his journey from military service to law enforcement and discussing how leadership, dedication, and teamwork developed in the military translate directly into serving our community.

The hiring event brought together more than 250 fire, EMS, and law enforcement agencies from across the country, providing attendees with a wide range of opportunities to explore careers as first responders.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about the Redmond Police Department. We appreciate the opportunity to meet so many talented individuals who are committed to service and making a difference in their communities.
