The Cambridge Police Department has reached an agreement with both police unions regarding the possibility of retaining trained civilians for some details that are not filled by officers. The Police Department is currently working with the Purchasing and Law Departments to draft and begin a procurement process by late summer 2025.
We will be able to provide further updates once bids are awarded.
Respectfully,
Christine Elow
Police Commissioner
