The Cambridge Police Department is the municipal police department for the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States. The department has 272 police officer and 37 civilian personnel. It was organized in 1859.[2] The Cambridge Police Department completed their headquarters relocation as of March 2009. The police department is now located inside the Robert W. Healy Public Safety Facility, at 125 Sixth Street in the neighborhood of Kendall Square.
Prior to the move, the Cambridge Police were based in a facility at 5 Western Avenue, which was seen as outdated having been more than 75 years old.[3]
Cooperation
The Cambridge Police are the main law enforcement agency for the city of Cambridge, where it holds ultimate jurisdiction over the city, however joint law enforcement may be carried out with the assistance of other law enforcement agencies: Two divisions of the Massachusetts State Police known as the Fourth (Boston)[4] and Fifth (Brighton)[5] barracks of Troop H, practice functional cooperation with the Cambridge Police Department. Additionally, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Police may cover its own transit properties or facilities in Cambridge along with the Harvard University and MIT police providing coverage for their local campuses and other facilities.

So with cake, applause, photos and speeches from City Manager Bob Healy and Police Commissioner Robert Haas, Cambridge Police commemorated more than 75 years at the station. Police Superintendent David Degou said the city's police department had actually been at that same location for 135 years because a former historic police station was also located there.
