In January of 1992 the Southern Police 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.
The department currently serves Glen Rock Borough, New Freedom Borough,
Railroad Borough, Shrewsbury Borough, and the Southern York County
School District.
