Upper Providence Police Department

Under Chief Donald H. Sherid’s supervision, 25 officers maintain Upper Providence Township’s safety and peaceful atmosphere. In addition to patrol officers, the police department has three detectives.

Nonemergency Police Calls

The police department office is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday.

  • For information or copies of reports, call 610-933-7899.
  • To file a complaint or have a police officer dispatched, call 610-489-9332.

The Police Department provides services for:

  • Traffic: With so many cars on the road, the department investigates several hundred traffic incidents each year. To prevent accidents and their effects, Upper Providence police enforce moving violations and seat belt use.
  • Domestic Violence: The department also focuses very seriously on domestic violence issues and strictly enforces domestic violence laws. Police also direct victims to the right places for assistance and services.
  • Emergency Response (SWAT): The police department participates in the Ches-Mont Emergency Response Team, a regional tactical team (SWAT) that is trained and equipped to respond to life-threatening situations.
