A Message from the Chief

The mission of every officer at the Dighton PD is to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth and serve the community with professionalism and integrity, putting a real emphasis on community policing. We strongly believe in community engagement and find that most problems are often best addressed by working in partnership with citizens. With this, it is our goal to continually strive to improve public relations and increase public confidence.

In closing, I’d like to genuinely acknowledge and thank the dedicated and committed sworn and civilian members of the Dighton Police and Communications Department who serve you daily. Without their hard work, our goals and initiatives would not be possible.

Chief George L. Nichols Jr.
