Administrative Division

In keeping with our core values, the administrative division provides broad support and service to every Franklin Borough Police Department division. Though typically not in the public view, the administrative division’s main priorities are ensuring integrity and fairness in all public interactions, regardless of the circumstances or classification of contact. The administrative division is directly responsible for establishing operational readiness via appropriate officer training, acquiring necessary tools and equipment, conducting thorough and complete investigations of any complaints against sworn personnel, and recording accolades and officer commendations. As an accredited agency, the administrative division ensures consistent personnel performance and quality services are carried out by the sworn members of our department.

Extra-Duty Employment

Officers are available to provide traffic control or security through extra-duty employment. In addition to an officer's regularly scheduled duties, private contractors can pay for officers to assist with maintaining the safety of crews, pedestrians, and the motoring public within the work zone. Officers can also be hired to provide security for private events with the approval of the Chief of Police.
