Enhancing Police Department Open Houses with a Photobooth

Police department open houses are a fantastic way to build trust, strengthen community ties, and showcase the hard work and dedication of officers. Adding a photobooth to your next open house is a simple but powerful way to create an engaging, family-friendly experience that leaves a positive impression and gives your community memories to take home.
1. Make Community Engagement Fun
Open houses are about bringing people together — and a photobooth breaks the ice instantly. Kids, parents, and officers can pose together, share a laugh, and build connections in a relaxed setting. It’s an easy way to make the event more interactive and memorable for everyone.

2. Create a Themed Backdrop
Make your photobooth stand out with a backdrop that reflects your department’s pride and spirit. Use banners with your department’s name and logo, or set up a scene featuring a patrol car or station mural. It’s a fun opportunity to showcase your department’s identity in every photo.
3. Add Creative Props
Props keep guests smiling! Include kid-friendly police hats, toy badges, signs that say “Future Officer” or “Community Hero,” and even plush K9 toys. Props encourage families to jump in and participate — especially children, who love pretending to be part of the team for a day.

4. Capture and Share Community Spirit
A photobooth isn’t just for fun — it’s a great way to capture genuine moments of connection between officers and the community. Share these candid photos on your department’s social media pages to highlight your outreach efforts and humanize your team. It’s content that reminds the community that behind the uniform are neighbors, mentors, and friends.
5. Give Guests a Keepsake
Offer instant prints or a digital gallery so families can take home a memento of their visit. Parents will appreciate the thoughtful souvenir, and kids will love showing off their “police day” photo to friends and family.
