We invite you to look back at some of the biggest accomplishments across various City departments over the past year, including Arts, Community Development, Human Services, Public Safety, Public Health, and the Public Library.

Beginning February 8, the Cambridge Public Health Department will be offering free COVID-19 and flu vaccines to adults and children (age 5+) every Wednesday from 12-4 p.m. at 119 Windsor Street, second floor.

The Cambridge Public Library will host the 7th annual Margret and H.A. Rey Curious George Lecture on Wednesday, March 19.

The Cambridge Police Department offers general fingerprint services for City of Cambridge residents only.

The Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) strongly recommends that residents get a flu vaccine this season. While a flu vaccine is always good preventative health care, it is especially important this year given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the flu vaccine, CPHD will also be offering free Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines and boosters at the clinics. We encourage people who are unvaccinated, especially young people (12 and older), to use this opportunity to get both the flu and COVID-19 vaccines.

Initiatives of the Department of Public Works

When a beloved apple tree was removed as part of the reconstruction of the City of Cambridge's Tobin Montessori and Darby Vassall Upper Schools complex, cuttings from the tree were saved. A new exhibition at Cambridge Arts’ Gallery 344 shows how “The Community Grafting Project,” a public art project the city has commissioned from the architectural and design studio TSKPxIKD, is giving the original tree new life.

A Sunday/Holiday Work Permit must be obtained for any contractor work to be performed on a Sunday or Holiday.

In 2022, Cambridge Police Department began a complete review and re-write of its policies, procedures, rules, and regulations through the lens of procedural justice. The Department committed to a multi-year process to seek accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). This accreditation is considered the gold standard in law enforcement and mirrors the department’s mission of procedurally just policing.
