First Responders

The Town of Framingham Police Department provides 24-hour coverage through 3 police patrol shifts. Each shift assigns Officers to specific geographical boundaries called police areas. Patrol Officers are the 1st to respond to situations that vary from:

  • Accidents (Motor Vehicle, Household, Industrial)
  • Armed robbery
  • Breaking and entry
  • Domestic disturbances
  • Intoxicated persons
  • Lost children
  • Medical emergencies
  • Murders
  • And more

All uniformed officers are trained as 1st responders and are certified to use semi-automated defibrillators for assisting victims in cardiac arrest. Each on-duty cruiser is equipped with one of these lifesaving devices. Uniform patrol is a very diverse and challenging position, which requires dedicated and resourceful men and women working together.
