ABOUT US

METRO-LEC is a consortium of more than 46 local police and sheriff departments in the South Metro Boston area, covering 600 square miles and serving a residential population of 850,000.    No community can be fully trained and equipped for every possible contingency. Therefore, local communities have banded together to form organizations such as METRO-LEC to help one another, making us all safer in the end. Member communities acknowledge that certain critical incidents may require a law enforcement response beyond the capabilities of any single agency. METRO-LEC was designed for these types of incidents. METRO-LEC consists of several operational components comprised of personnel from throughout the METRO-LEC communities. These units receive specialized training and equipment and are available to assist any member community when needed.

The Council currently operates several divisions:

Canine Unit (K9)

Child Abduction Response Team (CART)

Computer Crime Unit (CCU)

Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT)

Criminal Investigation Division (CID)

Mobile Operations Motorcycle Unit (MOP)

Regional Response Team (RRT)

Special Weapons & Tactics (SWAT)

Marine Unit
