East Brandywine Township Police Department is a full service police organization encompassing 11 square miles and providing police protection on a 24/7 basis. The Police Department is located within the Township Administration building located at 1212/1214 Horseshoe Pike, East Brandywine Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Police Department has both full time and part time police and civilian personnel and we are dispatched by Chester County Emergency Services.
The department provides a variety of services including patrol, criminal investigations, traffic enforcement, accident investigation, truck enforcement and community service activities. The department is also members of three Chester County regional teams. The tactical unit known as the Western Central Chester Emergency Response Team (WCCERT) consists of specially trained officers from numerous police agencies who are responsible for responding to high risk incidents. The tactical unit is made up of operators, snipers, negotiators and medics. The accident team known as the Serious Crash Assistance Team (SCAT) is made up of officers from various departments who specialize in accident investigation and the reconstruction of accidents. Finally, the Major Incident Response Team (MIRT) is a large contingent of officers trained to assist any Chester County agency with large scale incidents or needs that are not tactical in nature.
In addition to the regional teams, the Police Department works in conjunction with other local, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Our membership in J-NET (Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Justice Network), MAGLOCLEN (Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organization Crime Law Enforcement Network), LEJIS (Law Enforcement Justice Information Sharing Network) and the Chester County Drug Task Force expands our abilities to investigate time consuming and complicated crimes by making additional manpower, expensive equipment and resources available to us.
Officers within the department participate and conduct community activities which include station tours, speaking engagements, drug education classes, fingerprinting services and each year we participate in the East Brandywine Township Fire Companies Kids Fest Celebration.
This is a brief overview of the Police Department. Please feel free to call us or stop by at any time for information or to just say hi. The Police Officers of the East Brandywine Township Police Department are dedicated to providing the residents and community members with the highest level of service and professionalism. We are all dedicated to protecting you and will do whatever it takes to give you peace of mind, that in today’s society, we all need.
