In response to the needs
of a growing community, the Roaring Brook Township Police Department was organized
in 1974. Located in southeastern Lackawanna County in Northeastern Pennsylvania,
we share borders with the city of Scranton, the boroughs of Dunmore and Moscow,
and Jefferson, Madison, and Spring Brook Townships.
We provide basic and some specialized law enforcement services in a township
which is 22.4 square miles with a resident population of 1,637 citizens. In
addition, the Roaring Brook Police Department provides contracted police services
for Elmhurst Township, which is a community of 1.9 square miles and a population
of over 840 residents.
Combining the two townships, our coverage area is approximately 25 square miles and has more than 73 miles of state, county and local roadways. There are two major interstate highways that intersect in our township -- Interstate 380 and Interstate 84. Police services on the interstate highways are provided by the Pennsylvania State Police.
The Roaring Brook Township Police Department employs two full-time and one part-time officer. Our officers are recognized for their professionalism and community policing skills. Our mission is to provide quality service to our community and to establish a safe environment for those who live, work, and visit our community.
We work in partnership with the Pennsylvania State Police and other local police departments to protect lives, property and quality of life within our neighborhoods. We are committed to identifying, arresting, and prosecuting criminals and to creating a safe travel environment through consistent traffic enforcement. We utilize the latest technologies and law enforcement equipment.
The Roaring Brook Township Police Department is dispatched for emergencies
through the Lackawanna County 9-1-1 emergency dispatch center, The Pennsylvania
State Police assists our department when our officers are not available.
