The Community Engagement and Outreach Unit leads the Tyngsborough Police Department’s community-policing, education, and outreach efforts. As part of the Special Services Division, the unit works with residents, schools, businesses, and community organizations to build trust, strengthen communication, and provide programs that respond to the needs of our community.
The unit coordinates a variety of community programs, including Coffee with a Cop, Car Seat Safety, and neurodivergent-focused programs such as SafeWatch and the Blue Envelope Program. The unit also coordinates Good Morning Tyngsborough, which provides reassurance and support to seniors and other residents who may benefit from regular contact. Together, these programs help improve communication, increase safety, connect residents with resources, and provide additional support to individuals and families throughout our community.
Building relationships outside of traditional calls for service is equally important. Throughout the year, Department members connect with residents and families through events such as the Block Party at the Bridge, Health and Safety Fair, Storytime with the Police and Cones with Cops, along with school partnerships and other community activities.
Community policing is more than a program—it is how we serve. By creating opportunities to listen, connect, educate, and work together, the Community Engagement and Outreach Unit helps strengthen the relationship between our Department and the people we serve.
Guided by Character, Commitment, and Community, we believe strong relationships build trust—and strong partnerships make Tyngsborough safer.
