The Abington Police Department continues its commitment to the community in which we serve. You will notice our theme is “Community Partners” and you will see those words printed on each of our cruisers, our sign and on many other things associated with us. In an effort to continue our efforts to improve this town and maintain a “true partnership” we are opting to organize a road race in an attempt to fill a void that severe fiscal cuts have left in our youth programs. All the proceeds from this event will go directly to the Abington Park and Recreation Committee, to be used to offset some of the costs associated with maintaining our youth programs.

In the last year, faced with severe cuts in local aide, we’ve heard many people say “what can I do?”, and albeit this is a small thing, it’s something you can do to start to make a difference. Come out on May 22nd and run, walk or just stop by and support this event by donating what you can to such a worthwhile cause, the active lives of our children.


Looking to volunteer? Please come to a meeting at the police station on April 12th, 7:00 p.m.

Roger's Music Express, Mobile DJ/KJ Service will be providing the DJ Service Free for the Road Race
