Laureldale Police Department

We are here to serve the residents of Laureldale Borough. Our police officers work to keep our community safe by responding to and investigating crimes, reducing crime, and by creating strong relationships between police officers and the community we serve. 

Community policing encourages

  • Developing community partnerships
  • Engaging in problem solving
  • Preventing crime before it occurs
  • Creating a safe social environment
  • Encouraging residents to participate with law enforcement to keep the community safe

We are in favor of community policing because it

  • encourages resident to have a more favorable view of our police department
  • improves trust between our officers and residents
  • provides more accurate information from residents regarding criminal activity in the community
  • gives a better understanding of the needs of citizens and their expectations of the police

We remain committed to fostering working relationships with our residents and keeping our borough safe!  With your help, we can keep our community safer!

Dear Resident,

As your Chief of Police, I am very excited to be part of Laureldale Borough community. I will always listen to your needs and strive to be open and honest with community members as well as the men and women with whom I serve and protect. I believe maintaining a high level of professionalism within the police department serves to maintain the quality of public safety citizens deserve and fosters collaborative efforts which result in constantly improving community relations.


As Community members, you should know that your borough mayor and borough council have made an uncompromising commitment to public safety in Laureldale. I share this commitment and I encourage you to share with me your innovative ideas to improve our police services.


You will see a lot of new part-time police officers for the Laureldale Police Department while they are out patrolling the borough. I am pleased to say they are doing a terrific job along with the full-time police officers.


We look forward to serving you!


Chief Brian Horner
