Greetings and welcome to the Swansea Police Department Web Site. My name is George Arruda and I am the Chief of Police. The Swansea Police Department is comprised of 31 highly trained sworn officers and 6 civilian support staff. I am proud to be part of a professional law enforcement organization that consists of dedicated, committed, and honest Police Officers. We are privileged and humbled to protect and serve the citizens of the Town of Swansea.

All of our resources are aimed at just one goal: Making the Town of Swansea a better and safer place for all of the people who live, work, or visit. The Swansea Police Officers are problem solvers, a force that works with citizens, businesses, the media and other public agencies to improve the quality of life in Swansea.

Thank you, and enjoy your visit to our Web Site.


Swansea Police Department makes crash reports available online

Swansea Police Department, Swansea MA, is digitizing its crash reports through a partnership with the Carfax Police Crash Assistance Program. The reports are stored electronically in a secure database and available for purchase online at www.crashdocs.org/ma-swanseapd

Filing electronic crash reports reduces overhead costs for the department. Police departments spend an average of $35,000 a year to manually reproduce accident reports. The new system virtually eliminates this cost as well as the administrative staff time spent fulfilling each request.

Just as important, public access to crash reports is now more efficient. Reports needed by involved parties, insurance companies, and other members of the public are now easily obtained online within minutes.

Working with Carfax Police Crash Assistance, the Swansea PD is better serving our community.

For more information, contact Sgt. Richard Roussel     Swansea Police Department.
