On behalf of the Amherst Massachusetts Police Department, I would like to welcome you to our website. It is our goal to provide the community with information about our staff, programs, and community policing efforts. Members of the Department work very hard to make Amherst a safe place to live, work and visit.

We appreciate and welcome feedback from the community on ways to improve our service to you. We hope that our website will provide you with information and answers to your questions. Please visit often, and contact us with any questions or comments.

Charles L. Scherpa
