On behalf of the Ludlow, Massachusetts Police Department, I welcome your interest in our department. I am honored to lead what I consider to be the finest group of police department personnel that I have ever known. The men and women employed as my colleagues are committed to providing quality police services to our citizens and to those who visit and work in our community.
Our goal is to prevent and control crime to make our community a safe and enjoyable place to live. We accomplish this goal through a proactive community problem-solving approach and encourage your involvement to assist us in this endeavor.
It is my personal goal to see that our police officers are trained to the greatest degree possible to ensure that the highest ethical standards of integrity are met and that the members of the public that we serve are dealt with in a respectful manner, which treats them with fairness and dignity in a consistent and equitable exercise of police powers and discretion.
Our partnership with the citizens of Ludlow and those visiting our town is very important to us. Our police department operates under the philosophy that it is preferable to prevent crime through proactive policing with a vigilance towards protecting our community. Ludlow has a high quality of life and a comparatively low crime rate that is enjoyed by our citizens and visitors. The staff at the Ludlow Police Department will work tirelessly to ensure this status.
