Community Safety
The Senior Advisor for Community Safety works to convene and coordinate citywide departments and community organizations on behalf of the Mayor to advance safety, prevent violence, address trauma, and increase justice in Boston.
While we work on community safety issues, our department can't help in an emergency. If you're experiencing an emergency, please dial 9-1-1. If you are dealing with a non-emergency situation in the City of Boston, please contact BOS:311.
