Chicopee Overview
Chicopee Police Arrest Log Archive
The Chicopee Police Department stands out in Massachusetts for its extensive online arrest log archive. The department publishes arrest logs on the city website arrest log page covering every year from 2015 through 2026. Each log includes the date and time of arrest, location, the person's name and address, age, charges, and reference numbers. This is a rare level of transparency for a Massachusetts police department.
There is an important legal limit on what appears in these logs. Under M.G.L. c. 41, section 98F, arrests related to domestic violence and violations of 209-A restraining orders cannot be included in any public arrest or daily log. The department notes that this removes roughly half of all arrests from the public logs. So what you see online is only part of the picture. The rest is still on file but not publicly posted.
The Chicopee arrest log archive page shows years of arrest data available for public viewing on the city website.
This archive covers arrest logs from 2015 through 2026, organized by year with downloadable files.
