The Easttown Township Police Department consists of 18 dedicated sworn officers and 2 civilian support staff. We have an appointed Traffic Safety Officer who is assigned to maintain traffic safety on the township roadways to ensure a safer driving community. This officer is also responsible for the investigation of all traffic accidents, traffic complaints, and traffic surveys. By handling all traffic issues, he increases community awareness of potentially problematic commuter areas. We have 3 Detectives assigned to handle all criminal investigations who also works closely with surrounding agencies. As well, we have an officer assigned as a liaison for matters involving our juveniles directly associated with the local Youth Aid Panel. We also have officers assigned to the Municipal Drug Task Force, Chester County Regional Emergency Response Team (SWAT), and the Chester County Serious Crash Investigation Team.
