Sexual Assault Unit
The Sexual Assault Unit investigates sexual crimes such as rape, indecent assault, indecent exposure, and peeping & spying. The goal of the Sexual Assault Unit is to provide the best police and social services available to the victims of sexual assault. The Sexual Assault Unit will accomplish this task by conducting thorough and detailed follow-up investigations of all sexual assaults reported to the Cambridge Police Department. Understanding the difficulty and trauma placed upon the victims of sexual assault, our approach emphasizes sensitivity to victims' needs.
Victims may call the Cambridge Police Sexual Assault Hotline at 617-349-3381 for assistance.
*This hotline is monitored Monday-Friday, and messages left during the weekend will be responded to by a detective.
