Department History

In January of 1992 the Southern Po
lice Department was formed when the boroughs of New Freedom and Shrewsbury decided to merge their police departments. At that time the department was using the Shrewsbury Borough Municipal building as their headquarters.

In November of 1997 the name Southern Regional Police was adopted.

In November of 1998 the department moved to the newly built facility at 47 E. High St. in New Freedom, PA. Glen Rock Borough and the Southern York School District requested the services of the department during this time.

In 1999 Railroad Borough also requested the department to provide police services to their area.

In June of 2011 the department was contracted to supply part-time police services to Loganville Borough

The department currently serves the Boroughs of Glen Rock, New Freedom, Railroad, Shrewsbury and Loganville, and the Southern York County School District.
