Community Policing

The Millbury Police Department is committed to the tenets of Community Policing.  To that end, the department has developed many initiatives designed to mitigate crime and improve the quality of life for the residents of Millbury.  Consider that the Millbury Police Department reaches out to the community in the following ways:

     + Has a dedicated School Resource Officer (SRO).
     + Has a Senior Resources/Elderly Affairs Officer.
     + Inspect and install Child Safety Seats by appointment.
     + Host a Junior Police Academy every July for the youths of Millbury.
     + Hosts seminars with information on crime prevention and scams.
     + Provides funeral escorts upon request (manpower permitting).
     + Participates in Community Read Day in the public schools.
     + Provides talks and tours of the police station to Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Daisies.

Community policing also involves the residents of the town letting us know what problems may exist in your neighborhood.  From house breaks to traffic concerns, different neighborhoods have different issues.  We encourage our residents to contact the police department to let us know what they are.  "If you see something, say something".
