CHIEF’S STATEMENT
WELLFLEET POLICE DEPARTMENT
The primary goal and mission of the Wellfleet Police Department is
to serve and protect the citizens of the community. To the extent
practical the department will incorporate modern state of the art
technical and management techniques.
The demographics of our town is evolving. Since coming to my
position in 1990 I’ve watched Wellfleet –and the rest of Cape Cod–
change into a major retirement area. With the increase in the age of
our population comes the need for additional services, mostly related
to maintaining the quality of life and ensuring the comfort and well
being of our citizens.
The number of people in town jumps from around 3,000 during the
winter months to 20,000 residents and visitors in the summer. My
department strives to keep people safe while permitting them the
freedom to enjoy themselves as they wish.
It is the department's goal to meet the needs of the community in
the most efficient way possible. Thus, while performing the services
asked of us members of my department must be mindful of Wellfleet's
financial concerns.
