The mission of the Stockertown Borough Police is to provide the community and visitors with the highest quality of law enforcement services. We continually improve the public's perception of community safety through intense focus on crime deterrence and increased visibility. Service to the public will be provided in an efficient and effective manner, consistent with statutory authority, available budgeted resources and professional skills.
In addition to the Police Chief, the department is comprised of two full-time and multiple part-time officers serving rotating shifts.
Given the high traffic volume inherent with three state highways, industrial facilities, and residential communities, vehicle safety is of utmost importance. As such, the Stockertown Borough Police routinely participate in the DUI, Buckle-Up Programs, Weights & Measures and the Northampton County Drug Task Force.

Property Checks
The "Property Check" program is offered to residents of Stockertown Borough who will be leaving their residence unattended for an extended period of time. The police department will retain the form on file during the period of the resident's absence and will attempt to check the residence periodically and inspect the physical security of the property.
In the event the police department discovers an issue that needs to be brought to the attention of the resident, the police department will contact the resident of or designee to advise of the situation.
While the police department will make every attempt to periodically inspect the premises, the police department cannot guarantee the security of the premises and is not responsible for any damages that occur from third parties during the resident's absence.
