Message from Chief Szewczyk
The Boxborough Police Department is committed to providing
the highest quality public safety services to both residents and visitors. We are a fully accredited police agency, with
an on-site emergency communications center, responding to calls for service
24/7/365 within the 10.39 square miles of Boxborough while also providing
mutual aid for numerous neighboring agencies.
We have a culture of inclusivity, both internally and
externally. It is the goal of the
Boxborough Police Department to always adhere to the following:
Professionalism – All proper resources will be
allocated to provide the highest level of service in regards to criminal
investigations, crime prevention, motor vehicle enforcement, and the
preservation of peace in our community.
Diversity & Inclusion – A continual and
concentrated effort to ensure all citizens feel safe in their interactions with
police personnel. We acknowledge that
the history of policing in this country hasn’t always been universally fair to
all citizens. We will continually
participate in substantial diversity training and continually learn about various
cultures and backgrounds and how interactions with law enforcement can be
improved. All viewpoints will be valued
and ongoing improvements in regards to diversity and inclusion are a primary
mission of the Boxborough Police Department.
Sustainability – It is incumbent upon law enforcement
that we are doing our part to help preserve the environment for future
generations. This includes, but is not
limited to transitioning to a fleet of hybrid and electric vehicles, along with
decreasing fuel consumption, limiting waste, specifically in terms of
procurement and administration, and promoting best practice policies within the
department.
Transparency & Accountability – The relationship
with the community is vitally important as public trust and police legitimacy
is often predicated on the quality of this relationship. The Boxborough Police Department will
continue to be transparent to the public and accountable at all times.
Officer Wellness – The job of a Police Officer is
often difficult and dangerous. It is
imperative that members of the Boxborough Police Department have an appropriate
work-life balance, proper equipment to safely perform the functions of their
job, and all efforts are made to ensure their physical and mental health is
protected.
We are continually examining ways to improve our police
department and are eager to work with the community to achieve desired goals. Please reach out at any time discuss ideas,
ask questions, or provide your valued input.
In Partnership,
Chief John Szewczyk Boxborough Police Department
