Law Enforcement and Crime in Lowell
While Lowell does have some nice areas, it has the reputation for being a rough city. Crimes rates in Lowell are significantly higher than the surrounding towns like Chelmsford, Billerica, and Dracut. At the top of the crime list is drugs and gang violence. The city of Lowell is primarily policed by the Lowell Police Department and secondarily by the Massachusetts State Police. Read more about local crime on the Sun's police blog.
While the large student population further enhances the market for retail businesses in downtown, theft crimes are a major concern for law enforcement. In addition to nine banks, two full-service hotels, the Doubletree Lowell and the Courtyard by Marriott, Lowell is also home to Bob's Discount Furniture, A.J. Wright, Barnes & Noble, CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid, and more. The area's top employers are Market Basket, Hannaford Brothers, Dunkin Donuts, 7-Eleven, and Hess Corporation. Interestingly enough, some claim that Lowell has the lowest gas prices in Massachusetts. BJ's, Haffner's, and Hess are reported to hold title to the lowest prices.
