Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department serves the communities of Coolbaugh Township, Mount Pocono Borough, Tobyhanna Township, and Tunkhannock Township. The Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department became its own entity in 1994 with the converging of the Mount Pocono Borough and Tobyhanna Township Police Departments. In 1995, Tunkhannock Township joined the regional force, with Coolbaugh Township following soon after in 1997. The regionalization of the four departments gave the communities the opportunity to utilize manpower to the greatest potential while maximizing police coverage.

The force began with 15 officers. Now, 14 years later, it employs 44 officers within specialized divisions. These divisions include Detective, Patrol, Narcotics, Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.), K-9, School Resource Officer, Mountain Bike Patrol, Motorcycle Unit and SWAT Team. The department covers an area of more than 200 square miles.

The Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department focuses on a proactive, community-based enforcement strategy. The department is always searching for additional technology, current patrol and enforcement strategies, and ways for the citizens to become more active in problem solving with our community issues.

Chief of Police

 

2012 NATIONAL TAKE BACK!

The Fourth National Prescription Drug Take Back Day was on April 28, 2012. PMRPD received overwhelming positive feedback! The purpose of this National Take Back Day is to provide a venue for people who wanted to dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs. PMRPD participated in this effort in conjunction with the DEA, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the US. PRMPD received overwhelming positive feedback from the public and collected approximately 8 pounds of prescription pills and other medications. This collection was turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration for destruction. Detective Chris Boheim and Detective Mike Sciarillo coordinated the event.

This service is free and anonymous. For more information on how to find a collection site near you, visit www.DEA.gov and click on "Got Drugs," then click on "Collection Site Locator" and enter your zip code or County/City/State to find a site near your location.
