ALARM SERVICES |
||||
|
In an effort to continue to provide you with the professional services that you receive from your Police and Fire Department’s, we offer to every alarmed residence and business a Borough Emergency Alarm Notification form. The last update was conducted in late December of 2004.
The information obtained from the form is used to make notifications in the event of an emergency or an alarm at your business or home. The information is kept confidential and kept on record at the police department and at the Lebanon County Communication’s Center. |
||||
|
Ideally we would like to update this list every 2 years so that our
list remains current. We rely on you, the business or home owner to
contact us with any change to your emergency notification so that we
have the current information and not need it, rather than needing
the information, and not having it. |

ACCREDITATION |
||||
| The Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association introduced the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Program to the Commonwealth in July 2001. Since then, over 200 agencies have enrolled and 32 agencies have attained accredited status. | ||||
|
Accredited law enforcement agencies undergo a process whereby their policies, procedures, equipment and personnel have been brought into and maintained in conformance with the requirements of a professionally-recognized body of performance standards. Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping institutions evaluate and improve their overall performance. The cornerstone of this strategy lies in the promulgation of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives. Participating administrators then conduct a thorough analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet these objectives. When the procedures are in place, a team of independent professionals is assigned to verify that all applicable standards have been successfully implemented. The process culminates with a decision by an authoritative body that the institution is worthy of accreditation.
The Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Program was designed and developed by professional law enforcement executives to provide a reasonable and cost effective plan for the professionalization of law enforcement agencies within the Commonwealth. The underlying philosophy of the program is to have a user-friendly undertaking for the departments that will result in a “success” oriented outcome. |

Shift Exchange Program |
||||
| On September 05, 2003, the Annville Township and Cleona Borough Police Department's, entered into a inter-municipal cooperative agreement (Shift Exchange Program) for the purpose of providing additional police services in each municipality. | ||||
|
The Chiefs of both departments meet and agree on specific dates and times to cover each departments "open" shifts. The amount of shifts covered each month vary, depending on available manpower, each departments current schedule, and the specific needs of the department or municipality. Most shifts covered are during "peak" times, and include full police services such as patrol, criminal investigations, responding to complaints, and traffic enforcement. Each officer of both departments are duly sworn officers in both municipalities, and have full arrest and police powers as if they were in their home municipality.
Unlike programs such as police regionalization or contracted services where there is a fee for services , this service is provided to the public in each municipality without financial compensation to either the department, officer's or the respective municipality . Residents should call their respective departments for police services, or call 717-272-2054 for the Lebanon County Police Dispatch, and a dispatcher will direct your call to the appropriate "on duty" department, or DIAL 911 for all EMERGENCIES. |
