STEP 1: Complete this form to request a firefighter or police officer for a special detail.

Police details are assigned on Friday for the upcoming week. If you are submitting a request for a date after details are assigned (last-minute road jobs are a good example) you MUST call (401) 847-1306 and ask for the Officer in Charge. You must also call the Officer in Charge to cancel a scheduled detail. Police detail questions call (401) 845-5781 or (401) 847-1306. Fire detail questions call (401) 845-5914.

STEP 2: Make a deposit equal to the anticipated cost of the detail.

A deposit must be received before police or fire can assign personnel. You can mail a deposit to Newport City Hall - Accounts, 43 Broadway, Newport RI 02840 or appear in person from 9AM to 4PM, Monday through Friday. The detail rate is $50 per hour for police and fire. Payment questions call (401) 845-5377.

STEP 3: Contact the City Clerk's office to see if you need a special event license.
