Employment

Thank you for your interest in the Rochester Police Department.  We are currently looking to add members to our team!

The Rochester Police Department employs 14 full time officers, 6 part time officers and a number of reserve officers serving a population of approximately 5,700 residents. 

Because of the small size of the department, officers handle many of their own cases from start to finish. This allows officers the opportunity to participate in investigations, write and serve warrants, and make arrests as a result of their own work. 

Rochester police officers also have the opportunity to participate on a number of the departments specialized units such as bike patrol and ATV patrol as well as being able to join specialized unites such as the dive team, SWAT team, and search and rescue team attached to the Southeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (SEMLEC). 

Details and eligibility requirements are provided above and on our Facebook page. Please send any inquires to Lt. Donald Kemmett at dkemmett@townofrochester.com. 

Perhaps you know someone who is thinking of getting involved in law enforcement. This is a great opportunity for them to become part of the Rochester Police team!
