Northern York County Regional Police will receive funding for a new facility through a state grant program. Senators Mike Regan (R-York/Cumberland) and Kristin Phillips-Hill (R-York), along with Representatives Seth Grove (R-Dover), Keith Gillespie (R-Hellam), and Kate Klunk (R-Hanover) announced the initiative.

The $4.5 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant will finance the construction of a new Northern York County Regional Police Department headquarters in Manchester Township. The new facility aims to enhance staffing capacity, provide space for specialized police operations, and support the health and wellness of officers.

“At a time when our police officers are embattled on all fronts, it is important we ensure officers have the tools, training space and facilities to do the job,” the lawmakers said. “This is an investment not only in a building for police officers, but one which will be a benefit to the entire community.”

Northern York County Regional Police Department holds the distinction of being Pennsylvania's oldest regional police department and was the first created through regionalization. Currently, it employs over 60 sworn officers serving 11 municipalities.

The RACP is administered by the Office of the Budget to fund projects related to regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvements. These projects are state-funded and are not eligible for primary funding from other state programs.
