State Police South Boston Barracks (Station H-6)

Coastal and Highway Patrol

The Massachusetts State Police South Boston Barracks, designated as Station H-6, is strategically located at 125 William J. Day Boulevard, directly adjacent to the H Troop Headquarters. Situated at the head of Carson Beach, this station plays a pivotal role in ensuring public safety along the busy DCR (Department of Conservation and Recreation) roadways and recreational areas of South Boston, including Castle Island and the historic Fort Independence. In addition to these scenic locales, the barracks holds primary jurisdiction over a critical stretch of the Southeast Expressway (Interstate 93), serving the communities of Quincy, Milton, Dorchester, and South Boston.

Traffic and Safety Enforcement

Station H-6 is vital for managing the high volume of commuter traffic entering and exiting the city from the south. Troopers from this barracks are frequently the first responders to incidents on the Expressway and the coastal parkways. They enforce traffic laws, investigate accidents, and provide assistance to disabled motorists. The location is equipped to handle marine-related calls in coordination with the Marine Unit due to its proximity to Dorchester Bay and Boston Harbor. The barracks operates 24 hours a day, serving as a beacon of safety for both residents and the thousands of tourists who visit the South Boston waterfront annually.

Visitor Information

The facility is accessible to the public for filing reports or seeking assistance. Visitors should note that as a law enforcement facility, strict security measures are in place, including the prohibition of weapons and the requirement for valid identification. Parking is generally available for those with official business at the barracks. The station serves as a key community partner, ensuring that the popular beaches and parkways remain safe and accessible for all.
