Policies & Procedures

The Lower Providence Police Department issues General Orders from the Chief of Police, to all personnel for the purpose of announcing adoption or revision of policies, procedures and instructions which apply to all or certain units and employees within the police department.  These General Orders are reviewed every three years to determine if they should be revised, updated, or eliminated.  As our mission statement declares, the Lower Providence Township Police Department is a professional, progressive, community-oriented law enforcement organization committed to making Lower Providence Township a good place to live, work and play.  With that said, our goal is to provide our officers with clear guidelines and policies for when they are dealing with complex situations.  

Our full list of General Orders contains sensitive information that if posted could place officers and the general public at risk.  As a result, those affected policies will only be listed, not be published.
