City Seeks Volunteer to Help Shape and Support Public Safety

The City of Redmond is seeking dedicated volunteers to join its Civil Service Commission, which plays a vital role in the hiring and promotional examinations for all regular-status public safety positions. This commission also addresses grievances from members of the Redmond Fire Department and Police Department, making it crucial for maintaining public trust and accountability. As nonpartisan volunteers, commissioners must adhere to state and local laws, including specific regulations for firefighters and police. The commission consists of three members who meet monthly, allowing for public participation and transparency in their proceedings. While there is no official application deadline, the first round of applicant screenings will occur on August 30, 2024.

Candidates interested in shaping public safety in the community can find more information and apply on the city’s website. For any inquiries, individuals can contact the Human Resources staff liaison. This initiative emphasizes community involvement in local governance and the importance of public safety.
