On behalf of the Berks County Chiefs' of Police Association, I would like to welcome you to Pennsylvania’s first County Chiefs' of Police Association web site on the Internet.

The content of this site provides both members of our association as well as the citizens we serve with pertinent information about the professional policing efforts of Berks County police departments.

Through the support offered by Berks County citizens, many dedicated police chiefs and officers are able to provide continued service to their communities. This support only renews the already strong commitment of these police personnel to the communities of Berks County. The Chiefs of Police Association greatly appreciates this support and is proud to serve its constituents.
