NOW HIRING: POLICE OFFICERS Starting salary of $88,753.60. Officers with prior certified service may be eligible for a higher starting salary.

First day back at school, and Officer Bill, Julia & Nick needed a little help getting through the door.

After a long summer, apparently getting back into the school routine was a little harder than expected. Luckily, LT Pete was there to make sure everyone made it inside. He was happy to lend a hand… literally.

Once they were finally through the doors, everyone was ready to get back to doing what we do best: keeping our schools safe and getting to know our students and staff.

All jokes aside, the UMTPD is excited to welcome everyone back for another school year. We wish all of our Parkland students a safe, successful, and fun 2026–2027 school year. We’re also grateful for the teachers, administrators, and bus drivers who work hard every day to make our schools a great place for our students to learn and grow. Here’s to a great year!

Preliminary investigation has revealed that during this time period, suspect(s) drove through a corn field in the area of Adams Road and Haaf Road, causing significant crop damage. While conducting their investigation, investigators recovered a plastic A pillar trim piece consistent with a 2021 to 2025 Kia Seltos, similar to the vehicle pictured. If you know of a Kia Seltos in this style with recent damage near the front pillar or windshield trim, or have any information about this incident, please contact the Upper Macungie Township Police Department through Lehigh County Communications at 610.437.5252.

We are excited to announce that the Upper Macungie Township Police Department will be conducting OPERATION BEE SAFE for the 2026 and 2027 school year.

Through the program, residents are encouraged to nominate their child's bus stop by contacting Officer Julia Poapst at [email protected]. Once nominated, your child's bus stop will be added to a list of rotating stops monitored by patrol officers in marked police cars (with exterior emergency lights and police decals) and unmarked police cars, as well as officers on foot.

Officers committed to this program are instructed to:
1) Ensure the safety of children and parents at every stop.
2) Monitor the stop for school bus flashing red light violators.
3) Cite and prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law.
Are you interested in nominating your child's bus stop?
1) Email Ofc. Julia Poapst at [email protected]
2) In your message, please include ALL of the following information:
a) Exact location of bus stop (example: "146 Lone Lane" or "Intersection of Lone Lane and Helen Drive"
b) Exact pickup and drop-off times as provided by Parkland School District.

We are looking forward to another successful and, most importantly, SAFE school year!
