Welcome to the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department Web site. This Website provides information about the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department and its public safety role within the communities of Boston, Revere, Chelsea and Winthrop. I am pleased to offer this site as a glimpse into the world of corrections, rehabilitation and the Sheriff's Department criminal justice role in the community.

The Sheriff's Department mission is to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth and to serve and protect the citizens of Suffolk County. We accomplish this mission by maintaining safe and secure custody and control of inmates and pre-trial detainees and enhancing public safety by seeking ways to effectively reduce offender recidivism. Thank you for visiting the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department Website.
