Records from the Grafton Police Department in Grafton, Massachusetts were added. Grafton is a town of approximately 19,000 in Worcester County. The records were obtained via public records request by MassTransparency (masstransparency.org). The police chief noted the agency’s audit records extend back only 30 days, which accounts for the short window.

Several reason entries reference neighboring departments: Shrewsbury PD, Northbridge, Sutton, Millbury, and two references to MSP (Massachusetts State Police). Five records are categorized under “Kidnapping/Abduction” but the free-text field reads “Assist msp,” suggesting officers tagged cross-agency assists under that category. The 209A entries refer to Massachusetts civil restraining orders.
