You may schedule off-duty Roanoke Police Officers to provide security for your event that takes place within the City of Roanoke. Requests for off-duty police officers must be made at least 48 hours prior to the event. If you require an off-duty officer on a regular basis, we strongly encourage placing them on your payroll. Upon completing and faxing your contract application you will be contacted by a member of the Roanoke Police Department to finalize your request.
