Police Departments in Berks County, PA
Law enforcement in Berks County is organized municipality by municipality rather than through one countywide force. The departments listed on this page include township police in communities such as Cumru Township and Muhlenberg Township, borough police in Sinking Spring and Birdsboro, and regional police departments that neighboring municipalities fund together. Areas without a local department are covered by the Pennsylvania State Police.
Township, Borough, and Regional Police Departments
Jurisdiction follows municipal lines, so the department responsible for an address depends on the township or borough it sits in, not the mailing address or ZIP code. Regional departments, in which several smaller municipalities share one chief and one station, handle policing in parts of the northern and central county. Each listing identifies the station location, which helps residents match a municipality to the agency that patrols it.
Non-Emergency Police Numbers and Records Requests
Most people arrive at these listings for routine department business: a non-emergency phone number, a station address in Leesport or Birdsboro, or the process for requesting a police report, crash report, or fingerprinting appointment. Emergencies always go through 911. The contact details here reach administrative offices during regular hours, including for right-to-know records requests filed with a municipal department.
