How does Tent City handle security?
Tent City 4 is in a fenced area, with a single entry/exit point that is staffed by members of the Tent City Executive Committee and two security workers patrol inside and outside of camp 24 hours per day. Potential residents must have, or obtain, a photo ID. With the help of the Redmond Police Department, a background check will be performed for each applicant. The applicant’s name will be checked against the Washington Criminal Information Center (WACIC) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) for outstanding warrants and sex offender status. All Tent City 4 residents must agree to abide by a code of conduct which includes rules that make the area a drug-alcohol-and weapon-free zone.
