Shenango Township Re-established the Shenango Township Police Department December 31, 2014
In 2014 the Shenango Twp Supervisors voted to leave Southwest Regional Police Department and once again have their own Department. The previous Department was disbanded in 2004 when the Township joined Southwest Regional. After months of discussion and research the Supervisors decided, in the best interest of the safety of the Township residents and better use of the public safety portion of the annual budget, to bring back our own Department. In September of 2014 Jason Newton was hired as Police Chief. Sergeant Wherry was hired soon afterward and the two of them prepared the Township for it’s own force once again. Vehicles and equipment were purchased, Officers interviewed and hired, proper paperwork to the State and County submitted. On January 1st of 2015 at midnight the first shift hit the streets. This was quite an accomplishment in such a short period of time. With the “new” department the Township enjoys a greater Police presence. It has also saved thousands of dollars compared to the fees from the previous department. The Officers worked out of a small Office until the completion of the renovated Township Building in 2021. The office is fully equipped to provide the Department with the space they need and the latest technology to keep the residents safe.
