Message from the Chief

I am truly honored to serve Springettsbury Township and the men and women of the Springettsbury Township Police Department as the Chief of Police.  I began my career with Springettsbury Township as a police officer in 1997.  During my tenure, I have had the privilege to help develop the police department into the nationally recognized entity it is today.  This was accomplished through the dedicated work of the officers, past and present, with the support of the Springettsbury Township Administration, Board of Supervisors, and our indispensable community partners.  The Springettsbury Township Police Department is proud to have earned the trust and support of our community.  In a day and age where a single misdeed or misunderstanding can break down the community, we hold that support dear, and we work hard each day to protect and safeguard your trust in us.  

 

The Springettsbury Township Police Department has a proud tradition of service to the residents, businesses, and visitors of Springettsbury Township.  The men and women who serve as Springettsbury Township officers are dedicated professionals who embody the high standards of our core values; Integrity, Fidelity, and Service.  They believe in the collective goal of the police department expressed in our Vision Statement;

“The Springettsbury Township Police Department will continue to grow, adapt and evolve, as we provide the highest level of professional service and protection to our residents and the visitors to our Township. We will accomplish this through community partnerships, problem solving strategies, strategic planning, innovation, adaptability to an ever-changing environment, and a participative management style with highly trained and disciplined employees using the latest technology. Members of the Springettsbury Township Police Department will view citizen contacts as an opportunity to express compassion and will treat everyone with the respect and dignity they deserve, regardless of the purpose of the interaction.”

 

It is with this commitment to purpose that I wish to assure the residents, business owners, and visitors to the Township that the Springettsbury Township Police Department will continue to provide exemplary police services to our citizens as they work, play, learn, visit, and live in this community. 

 

Respectfully,

Todd King
Chief of Police
