Recruitment Initiative Efforts

The Everett Police Department currently plans to use this programmatic grant to enhance our recruitment efforts and address the growing need for qualified law enforcement officers.  The grant will support initiatives aimed at attracting diverse and highly skilled candidates to join EPD.  A focus will be on utilizing various digital marketing strategies, targeted visual ads in the city of Everett, Snohomish County, and possibly within specific geographic locations across the country, to attract the most qualified candidate for our agency.  Our aim is to decrease the current vacancy count of 28, down to less than five, through this grant.  By doing this, we will continue building a stronger, more effective police department dedicated to serving and protecting our community.
