My vehicle was towed. How do I get my car back?

Upper Merion Police Department contracts with Jamisons Towing 610-270-9999. Vehicles towed as a result of a police investigation need to be released by the Police Department prior to retrieval from Jamisons. If your vehicle was towed from private property, please check with management or signage in the lots to see what tow company is responsible.

I need a copy of a report

Generally, a summary report will be available to requestors for a fee. Report requests go through a review process prior to any release. To request a copy, please call the Records Department 610-265-0383 before coming to the building. Records is open M-F 9AM-5PM. Requests forms can also be emailed records@umtownship.org

UMPD did a great job. How do I recognize an officer?

We’d love to hear that our officers are going a great job. You can always stop in the Police Department to thank an officer, call and speak with a supervisor, or submit a “compliment an officer” form.

I need fingerprints for a background check

UMPD offers fingerprinting for employment purposes by appointment only. Fingerprinting is subject to staffing availability. To schedule fingerprints, contact UMPD at 610-265-3232 and request to speak to Special Officer Lare

I lost electricity in my neighborhood

In the event you lose power, please contact your utility company. UMPD is unable to expedite service to restore power and all questions should be directed to the utility company. View the PECO outage map here.
