On behalf of the men and women of the Sturbridge Police Department, thank you for taking the time to visit our website.

First, I would like to thank the men and women of the Sturbridge Police Department who work tirelessly to keep our community safe. I am encouraged daily by their hard work, dedication and creativity as we look for innovative ways to police our town in these economically challenging times.

I am extremely proud of the level of commitment our employees have to our community outreach programs such as National Night Out, The Senior Luncheon, Citizens' Police Academy and so much more. Events such as these create a community trust and familiarization that has had long lasting benefits.
