##  HUPD can assist in implementing community safety measures, pursuing criminal prosecution, and navigating requesting a protective order. 

Please connect with HUPD in a safety emergency at (617) 495-1212. If you choose to file a report to HUPD, you will be put in touch with their Sensitive Crime Unit who will be assigned to the case. All members of the Unit have been trained in the investigation of sexual offenses and other sensitive crimes and the impact of the crime on the victim.
