Redmond, can you spare a dime?
Many questions have surfaced recently regarding whether panhandling is legal in Redmond. As with most law or code enforcement questions, “it depends.”
On average, how many Redmond Police Department (RPD) officers are on the road at a time? On average, how many calls for service does RPD receive in a week? (A “call for service” being a call generated through our dispatch center requiring an officer response. This can range from an accidental 911 hangup to a murder. It doesn’t matter whether one or five officers respond — it accounts for one “call for service.”)
