Community Policing and Operations

The Worcester Police Department (WPD) Headquarters at Lincoln Square is the central hub for law enforcement operations in the city. The department operates under a community policing model 👮, focusing on building trust and collaboration with residents to solve problems and improve the quality of life. This facility houses the main patrol divisions, the Bureau of Investigative Services, and the Community Services Division, which coordinates neighborhood watch meetings and youth outreach programs.

Records and Public Services

The headquarters provides a range of administrative services to the public. The Records Bureau helps citizens obtain copies of accident and incident reports. For those requiring fingerprinting services for employment or licensing, the License Unit operates on specific morning hours during the week. The station also handles the registration of firearms and issues licenses to carry (LTC) for qualified applicants.

• Crash Reports: Motor vehicle accident reports can often be requested online or in-person at the Records window.
• Non-Emergency Line: Residents should use the dedicated non-emergency number for reporting past crimes or suspicious activity that does not require an immediate response.
• Fingerprinting: Available on a walk-in basis during designated hours (Tue-Thu mornings) for a small fee.
