Northern York County Regional Police Department Details
As part of many firsts in the history of the agency, in 1970, The Governor's Justice Commission, acting in concert with the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs, was solicited by several York County Municipalities to determine the need and feasibility of the consolidation of police services. Both agencies realized that police services in the Commonwealth had to be cost-effective to better serve socio-economic concerns of our community. To that end, funding to implement the delivery of police services was provided to the original five York County Municipalities (Dover Twp, Dover Borough, Wellsville Borough, Manchester Twp, & Paradise Twp) that agreed to participate in organizing the Northern York County Regional Police Department.Act 180, as passed by the General Assembly in 1972, served as the founding document for this new police entity. This act has come to be known as the "Intergovernmental Cooperation Act." It empowered these municipalities to delegate police powers to a new and separate quasi-governmental unit, THE NORTHERN YORK COUNTY REGIONAL POLICE DEPARTMENT.To empower this new police department, each municipality designates one elected member of its respective Borough or Township to represent their political subdivision on the Board of Commissioners. Each municipality has one (1) such Commissioner.On September 27, 1972, the NYCRPD assumed all police responsibilities for the participating municipalities. Originally the police department consisted of a Chief, two Sergeants, one Criminal Investigator and ten Patrol Officers.Today the jurisdiction of the agency covers a large and rapidly developing area of York County with a wide demographic base. The jurisdiction encompasses areas with urban, suburban, industrial, residential, and rural characteristics. The Department provides police services to 85,000 people in 11 municipalities covering over 214 square miles of York County.
