Everett Police Department to be featured in On Patrol Live

The Everett Police Department will be showcased in the documentary series _On Patrol: Live_, starting June 14, 2024, making it the first department in Washington State to participate in this popular program. Mayor Cassie Franklin expressed pride in the department, stating it reflects a strong culture and commitment to the community. Police Chief John DeRousse highlighted the opportunity to demonstrate the challenges and realities faced by officers on a daily basis. This visibility aims to inspire potential recruits and foster a deeper understanding of police work among the public. The series will film officers responding to various calls for service, providing an authentic look at law enforcement operations.

Importantly, the filming process will not interfere with the department's regular duties.

The initiative underscores the department's commitment to community-oriented policing and enhancing public trust.
