Route 5
The Officers of Route 5 are committed to the concept of community policing. They proactively work to establish and maintain partnerships with the residents and business people of Watertown. Through these efforts they hope to ensure that the neighborhoods are safe and secure by addressing issues in a problem solving method that vary from quality of life to the more traditional policing areas.
These will include enforcing laws and ordinances, the protection of property and persons, the preservation of public peace and the control of traffic, as well as investigation and inspection.
