MEET OUR EMCEE

Officer Danny Rabelos, Everett Police Department

Officer Danny Rabelos has been proudly serving the Everett community for 25.5 years, bringing dedication, compassion, and a deep commitment to building connections. Throughout his career, Danny has excelled as a patrol officer, and he now applies his experience and people skills to his role in recruitment for the department.

 

Danny is passionate about bridging the gap between officers and the community. He spends much of his personal time engaging with residents, becoming a familiar and approachable face of the department. Known for his arm sleeve tattoos featuring comic superheroes and villains, Danny has a unique way of connecting with people of all ages.

 

Whether driving the recruiting car to spark conversations about joining the force, participation in “On Patrol Live” or simply being a supportive presence, Danny’s goal is to humanize the badge and inspire trust and understanding in the community he serves.

The dress code is business casual, with encouragement to dress to theme, such as desert-inspired attire. Think flowing dresses, linen shirts, and earth-toned accessories.

There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. That's right, this event is FREE! So invite your family, friends, colleagues and neighbors. Even invite your banker or dentist!
