Welcome to the Web site of the historic Boston Police Department. The Boston Police Department has been recognized internationally as a model for community policing. This model was built on community partnerships, and this web site is one of the many tools we use to enhance our communication with the community.

This site is a great resource for anyone interested in learning more about the Department and about what we're doing to make Boston a safer city. Many of our programs and initiatives are listed on this site, as well as information about:

• Crime statistics.
• Contact information for all of our units
• Media Relations
• Recruitment information
  

I also recommend visit our blog at: BPD News blog for up-to-the-minute information about crime, public safety, and other information about the Boston Police Department.

We're working hard to make sure this site remains useful and up-to-date. In order for us to succeed, we need to hear from you. Tell us what works, what doesn't work, and what you'd like to see on this site. On behalf of the men and women of the Boston Police, thank you for visiting.


Sincerely,
Edward Davis
Police Commissioner
