Hudson Massachusetts Police Department

Calling all H-Town sleuths. We are posting this image in hopes maybe someone recognizes the clothing of the person or persons in the image. We want to speak to them in regards to a breaking and entering that occurred at about 2am into an industrial type building recently. It appears it may involve juveniles as building video surveillance captured them taking 'selfies' while inside - which means they probably posted these selfies on social media. Give us a call if you have any information, you can remain anonymous. 978-562-7122.

Thanks to the Middlesex Sheriff's Office and the YPSA24 for spending some time today with us and our partners at Hudson Firefighters Local 1713!

We will be offering a RAD women’s self defense class in August. This is a great opportunity before school starts back for college and high school. There is NO cost for this class.

Please remember that all amateur fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts. The use of illegal fireworks not only creates a serious risk of fire or injury but can also cause serious problems for people with PTSD, small children, and/or pets. We ask that while you celebrate today, please respect the laws of Massachusetts and the well-being of our community. There are many professional fireworks displays scheduled around our area for your enjoyment. A list of Massachusetts fireworks displays can be found at:

Recently Chief DiPersio and Ofc. LaFlamme attended a virtual dementia tour at the Artisan at Hudson presented by Second Wind Dreams. The immersive tour simulates what someone living with dementia hears, feels, and sees, while learning about the physical and mental challenges those living with dementia truly face and gain practical ways to provide support.

Day 5 of our Youth Academy began with a class run to Trooper Thomas Clardy's grave, where we saluted him for giving the ultimate sacrifice.

The Waltham Police Officer tragically killed yesterday has been identified as Ofc. Paul Tracey. He was a decorated 28 year veteran of the department. He was a loving husband and father, and was well known and well liked in the community. His wife also serves the Waltham community as a School Resource Officer. A family dedicated to serving their community with distinction.

Devastating loss any time of year, but particularly difficult at the start of the holiday season. We are heartbroken and send our prayers to all. 💙 The National Grid utility worker killed has not been publicly identified.
