In order for the personnel of the Wareham Police Department to fulfill our role in this community, it is
necessary that the Department's Mission be clearly understood; we must also examine the relationship between
the Department and the entire Town. The Police Department is but one of many departments that operate
throughout our community.
The Mission of this Department is not exclusive; rather, it is directly and indirectly supported and pursued by all
within the Town. Therefore cooperation among all of the departments as well as the residents of Wareham is
imperative for the accomplishment of this Mission.
The Mission of the Wareham Police Department is to provide the citizens of this community with the highest
quality of law enforcement, emergency services, and general assistance possible. We pledge to respect and
protect the individual rights, lives, and property of all people. We will work to reduce the fear of crime, to
improve the quality of life, and to faithfully enforce the laws. We will also establish a partnership with our
citizens, schools, and businesses through community policing initiatives. Professionalism and integrity by each
and every member of this department is of the utmost importance and will underlay all of our efforts.
