Exeter Police Department

What Exeter Police Department does

The Exeter Police Department, formally the Exeter Borough Police Department (EBPD), was the municipal law enforcement agency of Exeter Borough, a second-class borough in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, established as a borough in 1884. EBPD was staffed by approximately 22 personnel and held the exclusive mandate to provide policing services within Exeter Borough's geographic boundaries, funded directly through the borough's general fund rather than through commercial revenue.

In December 2022, the Exeter Borough Council passed Resolution #3 of 2022 and Ordinance #3 of 2022 to disband EBPD, transferring law enforcement coverage to Wyoming Area Regional Police — a regional force serving multiple municipalities in the Greater Pittston area. This consolidation marked the cessation of EBPD as an operating entity; the borough government itself remains active, providing municipal services including trash and recycling collection (J.P. Mascaro under contract through December 2028), tax and permit administration, parks, emergency information, and council governance.

Operationally, the borough runs a static municipal website (exeterborough.com) that serves as the primary citizen-facing channel for tax payments, refuse stickers, recycling calendars, ordinances, council meeting agendas/minutes, and inter-department contacts (fire, ambulance, public works, and now regional police). There is no proprietary technology product, no venture funding, and no parent or subsidiary structure; the entity is a public government division financed by local taxes under Pennsylvania municipal law, governed by an elected mayor and council with a professional borough manager.
