The Office of Police Accountability and Transparency (OPAT) was created to strengthen trust and accountability between law enforcement and the Boston community. We ensure fair oversight, provide an avenue for community concerns, and work to create a more transparent system for addressing police misconduct.

Open Door Day is an opportunity for residents to:

• Learn more about what OPAT does and the progress we’ve made so far in improving accountability and transparency.
• Hear a brief presentation about our mission, recent accomplishments, and future goals.
• Meet and engage with our staff to better understand how we serve the community.
• Participate in a short Q&A session to ask questions and share your thoughts directly with us.

We’re hosting this event to build stronger relationships with the community, answer your questions, and make sure everyone feels informed and empowered to engage with our work. Light refreshments will be available!
