The Duncansville
Borough Police has (2) two full time officers and (4)
four part time officers. We also have (10) ten Auxiliary
Polices, who aid the department in traffic details,
special detail events, as well as patrol during regular
officer scheduled shifts.
The Duncansville police added the second
full time position in 2000, as a means to balance a
large issue with part time turn over, increased call
volume, and increase safety and patrol. Our department
strives very hard in enforcing the local, state and
federal laws.
The officers of this department are
all active members of the Blair County DUI Task Force,
Blair County Drug Task Force, and certain officers have
been selected to participate on the Blair County Warrant
Squad.
Our department strives to provide a safe community to
the citizens of Duncansville, well providing safe highways
for the traveling motorist, who travel through our wonderful
Borough. We pride our selves on being safe and professional
for a safer community.

Our department participates
in several community events each year, here are some
to name a few:
Duncansville Street Sale, Memorial Day Parade, Police
Memorial Service, Community Days event, Police Memorial
Gold Tournament, National Night Out Against Crime, FOP
Events, including the FOP Fall Golf Tournament, Duncansville
Community Halloween (Trick or Treat Night), Duncansville
Community Christmas Tree Lighting.
This past year we have become involved
in the State Funded (grant) Smooth Operator Program,
this program provides additional funding to departments
to target aggressive driving on State Highways. This
is just one more tool to aid in keeping the highways
of Duncansville safe.
Each of our officers receive training in various fields
to better perform their duties. We are proud to have
the equipment and training to go along with the equipment
for each of the officers. We offer up to date weapons
and training for the following: side arm, Shotgun, and
AR-15. We are always looking ahead to see what new tools
can be added, which will increase our ability to provide
the most amount of safety to our citizens.
