The Provincetown Police Department is a charter member of the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council.

The Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council was created in 2002 by the chiefs of police of the fifteen towns on Cape Cod. The purpose of the CCRLEC is to enable its member agencies to share resources during those times that a single agency may not have sufficient resources to respond to unusual occurrences such as natural or man-made disasters, school or workplace violence, aircraft accidents, major police deployments during special events and other situations requiring exceptional police actions.

The Provincetown Police Department receives numerous requests for uniform shoulder patches. Unfortunately, for security reasons, the Provincetown Police Department is unable to provide, through sale or trade, its department patch to other agencies or to collectors.
