Chief of Police
James C. Childs, III

 
    As Chief of Police, please allow me to welcome you to the Southern Regional Police Department’s Website! The goal of the website is provide a useful resource for the citizens that we proudly serve. This website will allow you to see what the Southern Regional Police Department is about and what we are doing as a department to better serve you.
 
     This website was driven by our department’s motto “To Serve and Protect”, and the officers and civilian employees are committed to providing the highest level of police service to our citizens, communities, and all individuals that we may come in contact with.
 
     As a highly respected regional police department, we strive to keep our neighborhoods safe through effective law  enforcement skills and training. It has always been my goal to provide my officers with the best and most up-to-date training available, thus allowing the officers to use those skills in solving and preventing crime.
 
     The Southern Regional Police Department is deeply committed to working with its residents, businesses, community governments, and emergency services to form a truly effective police – community partnership. This is especially true with regards to the youth of our communities by our partnership with the Southern York County
School District.
 
     In closing you will see by reviewing this website the Southern Regional Police Department has various units within the department. These units were formed in our commitment to provide a first class and modern police department as stated throughout this letter. I hope you will find our website a valuable and useful source in the ongoing partnership between the police department and our citizens.
 
Sincerely yours,
James C. Childs III
