Having proudly served our community as a Raynham police officer since 1996, I, David LaPlante, share a deep personal connection with the Town of Raynham. This town and the police department hold a special place in my heart as a private citizen and a police officer. My wife and I, lifelong residents of Raynham, raised our children here, and our shared experiences have only strengthened my dedication to our town and its people.
I am immensely proud of the men and women of the Raynham Police Department. Their unwavering commitment and professionalism shine through in every call they respond to, and their dedication to serving our community constantly inspires me. Our officers and exceptional support staff work diligently to provide you with the highest level of service.
As your Chief, I encourage open dialogue and accountability. Your engagement is vital to our mission, and I invite you to ask questions and examine our efforts. Together, we can hold each other to the highest standards and create a safer, more vibrant Raynham.
One of my key priorities is to attract and retain individuals who are passionate about policing and understand the impact of their work. Our goal is to enhance all residents’ and visitors’ quality of life through our core values: Integrity, Service, Professionalism, Dedication, and Accountability. These principles guide us as we strive to build a safer,more just community.
We view challenges as opportunities for growth, always aiming to protect individual freedoms while ensuring a stable, peaceful environment. Our success relies on collaboration with residents and businesses, and together, we will continue to make Raynham a wonderful place to live, work, and visit. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to working together to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.
Sincerely,
David LaPlante
Chief of Police
