About the Wellfleet Police
Department According to the Chief of Police of the 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.”
