Big news!

We’ve received a grant from Norfolk Southern’s Safety First Grant Program! Logan Township Police Department is receiving $14,209.00 to purchase two drones and train operators!

This funding will help us assist Norfolk Southern and the rest of the community. The drones will be used to support derailments, trespassing, rail yard security, search and rescue, hazardous materials incidents, large public events, and incidents throughout our communities. The drones will improve situational awareness, response times, and responder safety.

We’re grateful to Norfolk Southern for recognizing our work and supporting communities like ours across the country.

📣 Friday's weekend message from your favorite local police department 📣

The weekend has officially arrived, which means somewhere tonight someone is going to put on a backwards hat, hear one song from 2007 while drinking a Zima, and believe he’s 21 again. (We support you reliving your college years BTW)

Enjoy some drinks, tell the same story six times, let everyone know “THIS IS MY SONG” and enjoy your late-night Sheetz food run! Just make sure, if you plan to be intoxicated, plan a sober driver as well because nothing ruins a night faster than realizing red and blues in the rear view mirror of your 2002 Dodge Neon while on your way to Denny’s turning down the music so you can “see better”.

Call a friend, get an Uber, or call your parents. Because the only thing worse than a DUI is someone losing their life. Stay smart, stay alive.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table during National Night Out! It was a great evening that was spent meeting members of our community, answering questions, and making new friends!

The Logan Township Police Department joined the red sand project this week. The project’s central action involves individuals pouring red sand into cracks in sidewalks. These cracks symbolize people who “fall through the cracks” of society, those who are vulnerable to trafficking and exploitation. The bright red sand makes these overlooked spaces impossible to ignore, encouraging conversations about prevention, awareness, and support for vulnerable communities. We stand with the Red Sand Project!

Thank you to Greenwood Fire Department and AMED for their assistance in this matter. We appreciate the strong partnerships that help keep our community safe.

Whether you’re heading home from work, or the ballfield, take your time behind the wheel. A few extra seconds can make a difference.
