🎃🦇 Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

If you see a police officer on patrol tonight, say “trick or treat” and get a sweet treat from our officers (Parents, we have some nut free, healthy, and non food treats as well).

Remember to celebrate safely tonight!

Diaper drive extended!! The diaper drive has been extended through October 31st. Belmont has done an amazing job supporting this cause, let’s keep it up!

The Belmont Police Department is participating in the Metro-Boston Diaper Drive!

Donate Diapers to Area Families in Need

SNAP & WIC benefits do not cover diapers and have faced deep cuts in recent years. As a result, many families must make difficult decisions between food, rent, or clean bottoms. But you can help babies in the Metro-Boston area stay happy, clean, and dry by donating to the annual Metro-Boston Diaper Drive.

The Drive will run from now to October 24th. Please drop new packages or loose diapers at the Belmont Police Station (460 Concord Ave.), visit mbdiapers.org to donate, or click directly on the links to the Amazon and Target registries. The Metro-Boston Diaper Drive donates all diapers to the Somerville WIC office, which, as of July, serves 19 towns: Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Burlington, Cambridge, Everett, Lexington, Lincoln, Malden, Medford, North Reading, Reading, Somerville, Stoneham, Wakefield, Watertown, Wilmington, Wi******er, and Woburn.

Belmont Police and Communications officers recently attended a wellness event hosted by the NEMLEC Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team, featuring keynote speaker Travis Howze and his powerful Post Traumatic Purpose presentation.

Thank you to Travis for sharing his experiences and delivering an important message about mental health, resilience, and supporting one another through the challenges of public safety.

We look forward to carrying these lessons into the field by checking in on our colleagues, recognizing the impacts of stress, and continuing to build a culture where asking for help is a sign of strength.

Thank you to NEMLEC CISM for organizing this valuable event!
