Description of Indicator
This indicator details the numbers of police officers in full—and part-time positions in the tri-county area and the state. It includes municipal-level positions, along with regional and state-level coverage. This information is sourced from the PA Department of Community and Economic Development.
Why is it Important? How is the region performing?
The number of full-time officers in the three counties increased since 2024. There has been a slight decline in part-time officers during the same period. The number of regional police services and the number of municipalities relying on state police coverage have remained relatively steady. A move toward broader regionalization will likely improve police coverage.
