Police Department Mission
The mission of the Medford Police Department is to create a proactive policing partnership with its residents by providing quality policing services through community involvement. And our police department's WEB site has been designed to provide quality informational services to the general public and to promote good community relations. Community involvement and smart policing are essential to our mission.  If you have any constructive suggestions on how we can better serve you, please let us know.

Note Regarding SHOVELED or RESERVED Parking Spots on Public Streets : There is an existing ordinance about placing structures on the street for any reason without a permit from DPW, (which may include reserved spots you may have shoveled out). The POLICE simply do not have the personnel nor the time to enforce this ordinance. Medford DPW can go out (after it receives authorization) and make a concerted effort to remove all structures from the street that are being used to reserve spaces. This is not a common practice and once again depends on time & resources. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT suggests the public exercise due restraint, fairness and common sense over disputed PUBLIC parking spaces
