The Northern York County Regional Police got a $4.5 million state grant to help build a new facility to fit its growing needs, according to the York Dispatch.
The grant will help build a new $11.5 million-headquarters building for the agency in Manchester Township. The remaining money needed for the project will be made up by other grants, municipal funds, and contributions and sponsorships from groups like NorthPoint Development, according to the newspaper.
The facility will be part of the Manchester Commerce Center, which is a massive warehouse complex being developed by NorthPoint Development, comprising three warehouse and distribution facilities totaling 2.6 million square-feet on 246 acres, according to township records.
The project has received preliminary approval from the Manchester Township supervisors, according to the Dispatch.
The Northern York County Regional Police Department serves Conewago, Dover, Franklin, Heidelberg, Jackson, Manchester, Manheim, North Codorus and Paradise Townships, and Dover and North York Boroughs, which have a combined population of around 126,000 residents — the largest of all police departments in the region.
The department employs 65 officers and is among the larger departments in the region. Its chief, David Lash, earned the second-highest salary of major police departments in the south-central Pennsylvania region in 2021.
