Mission Statement

We, the members of the Nantucket Police Department, exist to serve all people within our jurisdiction with respect, fairness, and compassion. We are committed to the prevention of crime and the protection of life and property; the preservation of peace, order and safety; the enforcement of laws and ordinances; and the safeguarding of constitutional guarantees.

With community service as our foundation, we are driven by goals to enhance the quality of life, investigating problems as well as incidents, seeking solutions and fostering a sense of security for individuals and the community as a whole.

Citizen's Police Academy

The goal of the Citizens Police Academy is to enhance the relationship between the police department and the community. This results a much clearer understanding of what the community can expect from the officers who serve them and a general understanding of what a police officer’s job and responsibilities are really like.

Community Service

The Nantucket Police Department’s Community Service Division is responsible for establishing and maintaining a positive relationship between law enforcement and the citizens of Nantucket County. This is accomplished by having a common goal of opposing crime in the community. Programs offered through these units help inform, educate and communicate a positive message helping us to achieve these goal.
