Chief Robert M. St. Pierre Police Headquarters
Moved into in 1992, it is named after our former police chief with his 25 years of service and couldn't have been made possible without our former mayor, Neil Harrington. Check out our station photo gallery.
Old Police Station
This is the old police station that was located at 17 Central Street.
Harbormaster
The Harbormaster Department is unique in that it is a separate City department under control of the Mayor of Salem, but it is also a sub-division of the Police Department, answerable to the Chief of Police.
Dive Team
Our dive team is the official dive resource of NEMLEC, providing regional mutual aid to over 55 communities in Essex/Middlesex counties, in Massachusetts.
