If this an emergency, please contact 911; if not please contact our business line at 978-399-2345. The primary purpose of the Westford Police Department is to provide a high level of safety, security and service for all members of the community. As a regulatory agency of local government, the police department has the direct responsibility for the preservation of the public peace, for the reductio

n of the opportunity to commit crime, and for the effective delivery of a wide variety of police services. A large suburban society free from crime and disorder remains an unachieved ideal. Nevertheless, consistent with the values of a free society, it is the primary objective of the Westford Police Department to as closely as possible approach that ideal.

Mental health calls are public safety calls, and co-response clinician programs are essential to helping departments safely respond to individuals in crisis.

The Westford community greatly benefits from the Westford Police Department’s partnership with COIN Collaborative and the co-response clinicians embedded within the department, along with the follow-up support provided through COIN’s community outreach team. These partnerships help connect individuals and families with critical resources, improve crisis intervention, and facilitate safe outcomes for everyone involved.

As communities across Massachusetts continue to see an increase in mental health-related calls, continued funding for co-response programs remains critical to supporting public safety, behavioral health services, and community wellbeing.
