A Proud Milestone for Waltham Police!

Earlier today, the Waltham Police Department was officially awarded its ninth re-accreditation by the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission (MPAC), marking the department’s 10th accreditation award overall.

WPD made history in 1999 as the first police department in Massachusetts to be awarded accreditation and has maintained its accreditation status ever since.

Accreditation demonstrates WPD’s ongoing commitment to professional standards, best practices, accountability, and excellence in serving our community.

Congratulations to our dedicated officers and staff on this outstanding accomplishment!
