The Chilmark, Massachusetts, Police Department serves one of six towns on Martha’s Vineyard, a well-known summer resort area located off the state’s coast. Its shoulder patch features the town’s seal, which depicts a sailboat — representative of the double-ended boats used in the area for cod fishing and lobstering before the introduction of motor-powered ships.
