In the two weeks since the Boston Police Department established an after-hours “party line” for disgruntled area residents to report rowdy parties, officers are saying it has not made much of an impact.

“Truthfully, I don’t know if anyone has used it,” said District D-14 officer Steve Law, who said the low number of reports received may be attributed to the program’s lack of publicity. “Maybe when more people become aware of it, they may start using it.”

When people call the line – established April 5 – dispatchers ask callers to report a party’s address, floor and apartment number, whether the party is indoors our outdoors, whether police will be able to gain entry into the building and for how long the party has been going on.

“A lot of people are reluctant to dial 911. The ‘party line’ was designed with those people in mind,” Law said.

Law said police set up the line after the March 24 shooting of 22-year-old Chiara Levin outside a house party in Dorchester.

The number of calls his Allston-Brighton station receives about loud parties varies according to the time of year, Law said. On a weekend night in September and October, the station receives between 50 to 100 calls on average.

Though he said the line could be effective, Law said he doubted any measure would entirely eliminate raucous parties. The system will help officers better maintain safety in the city because they will be alerted to where parties are taking place, he said.

Boston University Police Department Sgt. Jack St. Hilaire said his department does not expect its current procedures will change because of the new “party line.”

“It will only affect us if [BPD officers] call for mutual assistance,” St. Hilaire said. “If it is on BU property, obviously we would respond, because it would fall within our jurisdiction.”
