As Chief of Police, please allow me to welcome you to the Abington Township Police Department's Web site! The site has been totally redesigned with the goal of providing a better, more useful resource for our citizens. In choosing the new, improved look of our Web site, we were driven by our department's motto, to protect and serve with pride. Here at the Abington Township Police Department, our officers and civilian employees are committed to providing the highest level of service to our citizens and our community.

As one of Pennsylvania's most respected municipal police agencies, we strive to keep our neighborhoods safe through effective law enforcement as well as by preventing crimes before they occur. The Department offers a full spectrum of modern police services, including preventive patrol, traffic safety, criminal investigation, and enforcement of high-tech crimes.

Moreover, the Abington Township Police Department is deeply committed to working with its residents, businesses, and institutions to form truly effective police-community partnerships. This is especially true with regard to the youth of our community. APD's involvement in programs like D.A.R.E., Citizens & Police Together, and the Abington Community Task Force, reflect our goal of reducing crime and violence and preventing substance abuse among our young people.

I hope you'll find our Web site a valuable resource in the ongoing partnership between the Police Department and its citizens.

Chief William J. Kelly
