Mattapoisett Police Dept

What Mattapoisett Police Dept does

The Mattapoisett Police Department is a municipal law enforcement agency serving the Town of Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, a small coastal community in Plymouth County. The department provides 24/7 public safety services including emergency 911 response, patrol, criminal investigation, traffic enforcement, narcotics investigation, school resource officer coverage at Old Rochester Regional Junior High and High School, victim services, and community engagement programs such as the annual Halloween Parade (a 70+ year tradition), National Night Out, and charity events. It is led by Chief Mary Lyons and operates with approximately 8 sworn personnel, all under the authority of the Town of Mattapoisett's Board of Selectmen.

The department's technology footprint is modest but modernized. Its core operational infrastructure is the Next Generation 911 (NG911) system — an IP-based emergency communications platform running over a fiber network, installed in January 2017 and funded by the Massachusetts State 911 Department at no cost to the town. NG911 supports enhanced GIS-based caller location, text-to-911, and forward compatibility with photo/video and broadband data transmission. The department also operates the MyPD mobile application (iPhone and Android), which provides 24 citizen-facing features including anonymous crime tip submission, officer commendations, push notifications, and department contacts. Other public-facing tools include an online records and forms portal, a sex offender registry, weekly published police logs, and active social media presence on Twitter and Facebook.

The department is funded through town taxes and public budget allocations rather than commercial revenue, and does not charge residents for services. It supplements its operating budget with state and federal grants (notably a $35,575.25 Byrne Grant for P25 digital radios and participation in a $496,650 federal CARA opioid grant via the Plymouth County Outreach coalition). It participates in multi-jurisdictional collaborations including Plymouth County Outreach (27 municipal departments plus Bridgewater State University Police), SEMLEC (where Mattapoisett officers command the Mobile Operations Unit and Detective Unit), and the Massachusetts State Police, Fairhaven, Marion, Rochester, Wareham, Middleboro, and Barnstable Police Departments for joint investigations and mutual aid.
