As Chief of Police, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Wareham Police Department website.

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.

The department would like to remind you not to give out any personal information over the phone. Review our informative handout on Identity Theft that outlines steps on how to prevent your identity from being stolen, and what to do if it happens.

Police Chief Richard M. Stanley
