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.
