Township updated on two-phase police regionalization feasibility study
Summary
Londonderry supervisors heard an update that a two-phase regionalization study led by DCED will use 2020 Census data and current PSP call data for a feasibility assessment; municipalities may withdraw before implementation assistance in Phase 2.
Secretary Dana Simpson summarized a June 30 Zoom meeting with DCED representatives and officials from five municipalities — Londonderry, Penn, East Nottingham, Upper Oxford and Oxford Borough — about a two‑phase police regionalization study. Phase 1 is a feasibility assessment using 2020 Census data (road miles, square miles, population) and current calls with the PSP; Phase 2 would offer technical assistance for implementation.
Minutes note Oxford Borough is currently the only municipality in the group with a police department. Chief Kirshner will work with Chief Simpson and will reach out to townships for additional information needed for the feasibility analysis. If a municipality determines regionalization is not desirable, the minutes state it may withdraw from the study.
The update was informational; no motion or vote to participate was recorded at the July 8 meeting.
