West Goshen Police Department is a full-service police agency that handles approximately 25,000 calls a year for service. Our Patrol Division consists of 4 platoons of officers that are on patrol 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have a Traffic Division that is responsible for the investigation of all serious traffic accidents, in addition to coordination of traffic and engineering studies to dete

rmine the proper regulations of local traffic issues. We have a Criminal Investigations Division that handles all criminal investigations and works closely with surrounding agencies and the District Attorney’s office. We have a Juvenile/Community Relations Division assigned to handle matters involving our juveniles, schools, and community interactions with the Department. In addition to the sworn personnel, we have 4 civilian employees that provide police dispatch services Monday through Friday from 7am to 10 pm and handle all clerical matters for the agency. West Goshen Police Department is also an integral member of the West Chester Regional Emergency Response Team that is comprised of officers from 7 municipalities that are specially trained to handle critical incidents within those municipalities. We live in a world where public safety agencies have to rely heavily on assistance from the public to be our “eyes and ears”. We vow to work with and for our residents to provide a safe community. Our residents deserve nothing less. We subscribe to the principles that services will be delivered in a manner that preserves and upholds democratic values within our community. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of quality service, integrity, and professionalism in everything we do. I invite you to stop into our facility to meet our officers and discuss issues that are pertinent to you. Thank you again for your interest in your community and the West Goshen Police Department.

As of today, the Paul Miller Law takes full effect allowing Law Enforcement to issue citations for violations.

This law prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, even while stopped temporarily due to traffic, a red light, or other momentary delay. Under the Paul Miller Law, drivers can still use their phones to alert emergency responders and, if they are using hands-free technology, to make phone calls, use a GPS, and listen to music.

Keep your eyes on the road, the text can wait.

Last week, law enforcement from the West Chester area partnered with Special Olympics Pennsylvania to complete the 2cd Annual West Chester Home Town Torch Run (HTTR) to support Special Olympics. Alongside athletes, we carried the Flame of Hope from Henderson High School to West Chester University, where we held a pep rally to keep the energy high in advance of the Special Olympics Summer Games

This weekend, June 4 through 6, thousands of athletes, coaches, families, and friends representing all corners of Pennsylvania will participate in Special Olympics Pennsylvania’s annual Summer Games at Penn State University in State College, PA.

Good luck to all of the athletes!
