Dedham Police: "See Something, Say Something"

The Dedham Police Department is encouraging residents to speak up if they come across suspicious activity.

Police Chief Michael d’Entremont and the Dedham Police Department issued a statement Monday asking residents to report suspicious activity, according to a release from the Dedham Police Department. Police say that residents should take note of any out-of-the-ordinary situations.

“Our goal is simply to remind the public that they should feel comfortable keeping their eyes open for suspicious activity and to contact the police department if they are concerned,” Chief d’Entremont said in the press release. “If something doesn’t look right, it probably isn’t. Residents who have any concerns for their own safety or the safety of others should not hesitate to call the police so we can come check it out.”

When reporting such activities, callers are instructed to report who and/or what they saw, when they saw it, where it occurred and why the activity is suspicious. Callers can remain anonymous by simply informing the dispatcher at the time of the call.

Reporting residents should call the Dedham Police Department’s tip line, 781-326-7666, for information that does not require immediate attention.
