It is illegal for private citizens to use, possess, or sell fireworks in Massachusetts, or to purchase them legally elsewhere and then transport them into the state. The law prohibits any article designed to produce a visible or audible effect. The penalty can be a fine or imprisonment or both, and confiscation. Thus far, we have confiscated a number of fireworks and did make an arrest, in which a Boston resident faces multiple firearms charges as well as unlawful possession of fireworks.
We are directing available patrols to locations at the times in which we are receiving calls and Officers have witnessed fireworks. To clarify, we have not had any recent gunshot-related incidents in the area. If anyone has any specific information on who may be responsible for using fireworks, please call 617-349-3300 or text an anonymous tip to the Cambridge Police, by sending a text message to Tip411 (847411). Begin your message with Tip650 and then type your message.

Thanks for writing and sharing your valid concerns.
Our Officers confiscated a large set of fireworks, marijuana, a scale and cash earlier last night in The Port after a series of firework calls. Later in the evening, Officers located a large group at a parking lot and stayed on scene until the crowd eventually dispersed.

Individuals caught possessing and/or shooting off fireworks are subject to fines and arrest. The challenge for Officers can be when they come across large groups, as it can be difficult to identify who is responsible for shooting or possessing the fireworks. While it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact location of where fireworks are set off, residents are urged to call 617-349-3300 with as much information as possible. You can also Text a Tip to the Cambridge Police by sending a text message to Tip411 (847411). Begin your message with Tip650 and then type your message.
