Police Assistance Program
Thursday, Feb. 4 at 10 a.m.
Greensburg – The Senate Law and
Justice Committee, chaired by Sen. John Pippy (R-37), will hold a public hearing
in Westmoreland County next week on legislation to give municipalities the
option of contracting with State Police for additional services.
The hearing will be held Thursday,
Feb. 4 at 10 a.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott, 700 Power Line Drive in
Hempfield Township.
Senate Bill 984, sponsored by Sen.

allowing municipalities without police departments to contract with the State
Police for additional number of troopers beyond the current complement.
The committee is expected to hear from
representatives of the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania State Police
Troopers Association, the Pennsylvania Township Supervisors Association and area
municipal officials.
