Cambridge Police & Department of Human Service Programs to Participate in Neighborhood Door-to-Door Campaign

Beginning tonight, the Cambridge Police Department and Department of Human Service Programs will participate in a series of door-to-door outreach and information sharing nights.

Over the course of five Thursday nights between March and May, members of the Cambridge Police Community Relations and Youth and Family Services units will join personnel from the Department of Human Service Programs and visit residents at Rindge Avenue, Memorial Drive, Putnam Gardens, River Howard Homes, Woodrow Wilson Court, Roosevelt Towers, Walden Square, Jefferson Park, Washington Elms, Newtowne Court, Corcoran Park, and other areas. 

“The goal of these outreach efforts is to give residents an opportunity to informally meet with personnel and officers, including our Neighborhood Sergeants and Sector Lieutenants, share public safety and human service program-related information and resources with residents, and discuss any questions or concerns residents may have,” said Deputy Superintendent Christine Elow. “We view this initiative as an integral component of our community outreach.”   

Those residents who are not at home will receive door hangers complete with information and important telephone numbers/e-mail addresses.

For more information about the door-to-door outreach campaign, please contact Cambridge Police Community Services at 617-349-3236.
