The Abington Police Department is taking an active and compassionate role in helping people deal with opioid and other drug addiction. For more information contact the Community Policing Division at 26. The Abington Police Department can assist with you with helpful information on ways to safeguard your property and your life. Thus, we can discourage the thief by being smart enough to reduce opportunity by being prepared. The more we can do to make it harder for the thief by increasing the time, visibility or noise factors, the more we are going to discourage him/her from selecting our residence, business, or ourselves as a target in the first place. To help prevent victimization, Abington police officers work with residents and businesses to promote crime prevention.Ĭrime prevention is the science of recognizing what criminals look for and then reducing or eliminating such opportunities in a practical way. While Abington Township is a very safe place to live and work, crime does happen sometimes. Wouldn’t it be great if we could prevent our citizens from ever becoming crime victims? At the Abington Police Department, that’s our goal.

For additional information, please contact Officer Alison Gontowski at 26 or Officer Christine Da Cunha 26 Crime Prevention Once registered, officers can search a secure database for information specific to the person to include physical description, photographs, medical conditions, home address, and a list of persons to contact in the event of an emergency. Please take a moment to register your loved one today, so you can help us help them. Time is of the essence, and this background information will help our officers to make informed decisions on how to peacefully intervene to avoid those actions that will likely trigger fear, anxiety, or even a violent response. Many of us at Abington Township Police Department have experienced these challenges firsthand with our own loved ones, and we know how critical it is for law enforcement officers to have immediate access to personal background information during an emergency. The Abington Township Police Department is proud to introduce the “Take Me Home” program for families of individuals who may not be able to communicate with a law enforcement officer because of various physical and/or cognitive conditions (i.e., Autism, Alzheimer’s, Down Syndrome, etc.). Register for the “Take Me Home” Program.
