When is my production required to hire uniformed police officers for assistance/ security?
Uniformed Police Officers: Everett Police Department (EPD) officers are required to assist film productions under several circumstances, determined upon review of your application. The most common instances requiring officer assistance are:

Vehicle Traffic Control: Production personnel are not allowed to control vehicle traffic at any time. Uniformed EPD Officers must be hired by the production company to perform vehicle traffic control. The Chief’s office will determine if an EPD car will be available for the use of the off-duty officer.

Weapons Use: Any use of real or replica weapons on public property or in view of the public require the production to hire Uniformed EPD Officers.

Crime Recreations: Scenes that include depictions of violence, criminal activity, crime scene recreation, or actors portraying uniformed officers require the production to hire Uniformed EPD Officers.
