We are pleased to introduce you to the organizational divisions and personnel of the Foxborough Police Department:
Chief:
Michael A. Grace
Deputy Chief:
Richard H. Noonan, Jr.
Operations Division:
Operations Division Commander (Patrol) – Lt. John Chamberlin
This division is staffed by the largest number of employees and in many ways is our most visible and community oriented division comprised of our patrol teams and other specialty officers. We have three patrol teams each led by two police sergeants, including the 12pm to 8am patrol team; the 8am to 4pm patrol team; and the 4pm to 12pm patrol team. Their primary function is to respond to emergency calls for service and during uncommitted patrol time to implement our community policing philosophy through direct engagement with every member of our community and everyone who visits us.
Administrative Division:
Administrative Division Commander – Lt. Patrick Hoffman
The administrative division encompasses several important parts of our organization including detectives who investigate all major criminal cases in cooperation with patrol and our external law enforcement partners. This division also relies on our administrative officer to supervise our handling of evidence and property along with a variety of other collateral duties relating to building, fleet and equipment maintenance. This division is also supported by the men and women of our communication division who play a vital role, often as the public’s first point of contact, talking people through a variety of life crises, dispatching our patrol force and Fire and EMS personnel to calls for service, and fielding a wide variety of inquiries from the public. The Administrative Division Commander also oversees our Internal Affairs process to make sure that public complaints are investigated and adjudicated in a fair and timely fashion while protecting the due process rights of our employees.
