MA | New Bedford Police Department #10365734
Description
New Bedford Police Department "Serving our community with respect and empathy." ★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★ 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: In 1794, the first organized police force in New Bedford was created to protect against theft. The men were called Watchmen and protected businesses and gardens. The group was named the Bedford Association. As New Bedford grew, largely in part to its whaling industry, so did the need for a more organized police force. In 1824, the Bedford Association became the Night Watch. Their primary focus became preventing robberies in the businesses. The New Bedford Police Department now stands as the City's Primary Law Enforcement Agency. ★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★ DIVISONS: Detectives Bureau Traffic Divison Patrol Divison Special Response Team ★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★
