Community Service Calendar

Enhancing the quality of life through the prevention of crime is the primary role and goal of the Community Services Division. It is when crimes are prevented from occurring that society is best served. The term crime prevention applies to proactive efforts and measures aimed at the elimination of criminal incidents, rather than responding to them after they have occurred. Crime is the result of the desire or wish to commit the crime, the ability or knowledge of how to commit the crime and the opportunity to commit the crime. By removing any one of the three elements we reduce crime.

The Community Services Division consists of a group of dedicated personnel committed to ensuring the success of the programs designed to educate, inform, and improve the quality of life for residents of Swatara Township.

The Community Service Division is responsible for providing all types of services to the public to include but not limited to:
