Hire an Officer

Businesses and individuals desiring to Hire an Officer to work in an extra-duty capacity should contact WPD. Officers shall only work for employers with an approved Extra Duty Employment Form on file with the Department. Officers can be hired for special events, including festivals and running events, security and traffic control, and other requests approved by the Department.

The prospective employer must fill out and sign the form before submission for all extra-duty employment. The form must contain the complete legal name of the employing company and/or contact person, the employer’s worker’s compensation insurance carrier name, address, policy number, agent, and contact phone number. Worker's compensation insurance is encouraged but not required.

We request at least 10 days notice, if possible.

Completed and signed forms should be emailed to wpdrecords@westfield.in.gov
