Lower Moreland Township PoliceDepartment Overview

The Lower Moreland Township Police Department was established in 1937 when George Flack was hired as the first police officer.  At that time, Officer Flack’s home on Huntingdon Pike served as the first police headquarters, as he was the only officer on the police force for the first six years.  Today, the Lower Moreland Police Department is responsible for the protection of life and property within the 6.5 square mile political boundary. The Police Department operates under the guidelines of the First Class Township Code.
