The Whitehall Borough Police Department employs 20 full time police officers, 5 full time and one part time support personnel. The Police Department maintains its own dispatch center 24 hours a day at 412-884-1100 for Police, Fire, and Medical emergencies. 9-1-1 calls are forwarded to us from the center. Non-emergency calls will also be accepted at 412-884-1100. The dispatchers have equipment available to communicate with the hearing and speech impaired.

It is interesting to note that one of the reasons Whitehall Borough seceded from Baldwin Township in 1948 was due to resident dissatisfaction with the level of police protection. In fact, the first piece of equipment ever purchased by the new Whitehall Borough was a 1947 Chevrolet Stylemaster police vehicle equipped with snow tires, siren, two-way radio and a full tank of gas for $2,292.50. The department has been ever mindful of the community’s expectations in the years since. Residents cite community safety as one of the primary reasons that they choose to live in Whitehall.

Police Department headquarters are located in the lower level of the municipal building at 100 Borough Park Drive.
