POCONO MOUNTAIN REGIONAL POLICE DEPARTMENT

What POCONO MOUNTAIN REGIONAL POLICE DEPARTMENT does

The Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department (PMRPD) is a government municipal police department founded in 1994 and headquartered at 2454 Route 940, Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania. It was formed through the regionalization of the Mount Pocono Borough and Tobyhanna Township Police Departments, with Tunkhannock Township (1995), Coolbaugh Township (1997), and Barrett Township (2015) subsequently joining to complete a five-municipality force serving more than 238 square miles in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The department is governed by the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Commission and led by Chief Chris Wagner.

PMRPD operates 43 sworn officers distributed across specialized divisions including a 30-officer Patrol Division, Criminal Investigations, Narcotics Division, a 19-person SWAT team, K-9 (Creed and Hilo), Special Enforcement, Motorcycle Unit, Mountain Bike Patrol, School Resource Officer, and Honor Guard. Core technology is standard law enforcement equipment: Mobile Video/Audio Recording (MVAR) body cameras, electronic speed timing devices (Tracker, VASCAR, ENRADD) in lieu of radar, 2018 Harley Davidson Road King motorcycles, and MuniciPAY for report and ticket payments. The SWAT team has received training from the FBI, Pennsylvania State Police, US Military, the National Tactical Officers Association, and has assisted the US Secret Service Presidential Detail; the department also embeds personnel with the DEA Scranton Field Office and the Monroe County Drug Task Force.

The department is funded primarily through municipal taxes from its five member municipalities. Auxiliary revenue consists of small fees: $15 for accident or incident reports, $50 for parking tickets, alarm fines, plus payment processing fees of 2.45% (or $3 minimum) for credit cards and $1.50 for electronic checks. The Pocono Mountain Regional Police Foundation (PMRPF) provides supplementary fundraising for equipment and programs not covered by the Police Commission. In 2011 PMRPD became the first Monroe County department and only the third regional department in Pennsylvania to receive Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (PLEAC) accreditation, a status held by roughly 6% of the state's 1,200 law enforcement agencies.
