About the Blackstone Police Department

Our Mission

In partnership with our community, the Blackstone Police Department (BPD strives to provide the highest quality of protection, safety, and well-being for all of our residents, businesses, and visitors. In furtherance of this goal, our Department implements a proactive approach to the prevention, detection, and investigation of criminal activity. The most vital tool available to us is the assistance, involvement, and interaction of the citizens we have pledged to serve. It is our hope that this webpage may serve as a bridge between the community and the police department, allowing a free exchange of information, ideas, and feedback, in order to create safer neighborhoods and foster public trust in our department.

About BPD

The Blackstone Police Department is constantly striving to better ourselves and in turn, our community. We take pride in all that we do and hope to provide our community and visitors to our website with as much information as we can. We believe being transparent will help our residents feel that the BPD is working hard 24/7 and will bridge the gap between our agency and our valued citizens.
