A Message From the Chief

Welcome to the new Chelmsford Police Department website. As your Chief of Police, it is an honor and a privilege to lead such a dedicated team committed to serving and safeguarding our community. Our mission is one of community engagement, community wellness, ensuring safety, building trust, and promoting unity within our community. Our officers train and strive for excellence every day with the hope that we can earn your respect and trust. Community involvement is the centerpiece of our policing philosophy. We believe in working in collaboration with our residents, businesses, and local organizations to create a safer community for everyone. Our goal is to provide police services consistent with our community’s expectations. We believe that every interaction matters, and everyone must be treated with the utmost care and compassion. The Chelmsford Police Department is committed to being a model 21st Century Police Department. If you are interested in joining a community-centered, progressive police department, please reach out to our team. This website is an important resource, offering information regarding our department’s services, initiatives, employment opportunities, and community engagements. I encourage everyone to explore the website, engage our resources, and reach out to us with their thoughts and ideas. We continue to look for ways to connect with our residents and visitors to the town. Follow us on Facebook, X, and Instagram @chelmsfordpd to find out about our upcoming events, where you are invited to meet your police department and contribute ideas on how we can best serve you.

Sincerely,
Chief Colin C. Spence
