What Borough of Fountain Hill Police Department does

The Borough of Fountain Hill Police Department is a municipal law enforcement agency operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week under the direct control of the borough mayor. It serves the residents, businesses, and visitors of Fountain Hill Borough, a second-class borough in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The department is staffed by a Chief, twelve full-time Patrol Officers, one Sergeant, one Criminal Investigator, and a Police Secretary, with part-time Patrol Officers supplementing shift coverage. Services are delivered through emergency response (911), a non-emergency phone line (610-437-5252), and administrative office operations at headquarters located at 941 Long Street during business hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.

The department's core functions include patrol operations, criminal investigation, traffic enforcement, crime prevention, and protection of property and life. It operates with standard municipal police equipment including cruisers and communications systems, and coordinates mutual aid with neighboring municipal police departments, Lehigh County Emergency Services, and the Fountain Hill Volunteer Fire Department. Community notification and engagement are supported through a Nixle-powered alert system, the borough's Facebook page, and a YouTube channel.

Funding is derived entirely from municipal taxes collected by the Borough of Fountain Hill — including Real Estate Taxes, Per Capita Taxes, an Emergency Municipal Service Tax ($52 annual levy), Business Privilege Tax, Mercantile Tax, and Local Services Tax — administered via third-party collectors (Keystone Collections Group and BERKHEIMER). There is no commercial revenue, no pricing for services to residents, and no capital raise or equity structure; the department is a public political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
