Special Detail Request

All requests for police and fire details must be submitted using this form below.

The City's Special Detail rate is $65.20 per hour for police officers and $63.45 for firefighters and there is a four-hour minimum per detail. (According to state law firefighters must start their detail 30 minutes prior to the event start to do a protective sweep. Please schedule your requested hours accordingly.)

Any special detail that is canceled without one hours’ notice to the Police and or Fire Department will result in the minimum charge of four hours for each officer / firefighter requested

The Accounting Office, located in City Hall, 43 Broadway, must receive a deposit equal to the estimated cost of the detail before police and fire personnel can be assigned to the event. For questions regarding a deposit, please contact Charlene Cordeiro. Details that run less than the estimated time may result in a refund to the company/individual responsible for payment. Details will be filled based on personnel availability and public safety requirements.

Contact the City Clerk's office at (401) 845-5340 to determine whether a special event license is necessary. This detail request form must be completed in addition to a special event license application when police officers and/or firefighters are required.

It is preferable to complete the online Detail Request Form, however if this is not possible you can fax this completed form to (401) 847-5598, (401) 841-5446 and (401) 849-8187.
