Residents often express concerns related to issues that typically fall within the purview of a municipality’s ordinances. Introducing a new initiative that prioritizes ordinance enforcement can significantly strengthen the bond between the municipality and its residents.

Consider the case of Mrs. Smith, residing in a residential area at the intersection of Main St. and W. Poplar St. She frequently reports instances of drivers disregarding the stop sign at that junction, an ongoing problem lacking adequate enforcement. With the consistent presence of an officer and issuance of violation citations, the frequency of violations is expected to decrease over time, ultimately addressing Mrs. Smith’s concerns.

As ordinances are consistently enforced, a noticeable decline in the overall number of violations is anticipated.   Now, imagine a scenario where your contracted police department, operating with only two officers on duty, receives a 911 call reporting a suspicious person armed with a weapon. All available officers are already engaged in a call at the opposite end of the county, resulting in a minimum 30-minute response time. Neighboring police departments are unable to respond due to their policies. Picture having a Pennsylvania State Constable nearby, responsible for enforcing ordinances, who can arrive within minutes. The presence of an additional law enforcement officer not only enhances the safety of residents but also provides support to other officers responding to critical situations.   Municipalities are frequently burdened with various non-priority calls such as nuisance complaints, disorderly conduct, disturbances, trespassing, and parking issues. Assigning an ordinance enforcement officer to handle these matters not only fosters a stronger relationship between the municipality and its residents but also enables other police officers to concentrate on more pressing issues. Our officers will maintain a continuous and visible presence in the community, reaffirming the municipality’s dedication to public safety and addressing the concerns of its residents.
