Crime prevention cannot be achieved by the police alone. Professional law enforcement officers must work hand-in-hand with the public to fight crime and neighborhood disorder throughout our communities. So, we depend heavily on your assistance in reporting crimes to Upper Macungie Township Police Department.

Crimes "in progress" or that require emergency service, please dial 9-1-1 immediately.

Thank you for doing your part in keeping crime out of Upper Macungie Township!

Smart Safety Alerts by Phone

In the event of a major emergency, Lehigh County Emergency Management provides residents and visitors with a telephonic safety alert system called REVERSE 911.

You may already have this valuable service. Traditional wireline telephone systems—such as Verizon, Ironton, Service Electric, Frontier, Blue Ridge and RCN—are already in the Reverse 911 system, even unlisted numbers.

But if you have “landline VOIP” phone service (Vonage and Magic Jack are a few examples) you may have to register your number for Reverse 911.

Also if you want your wireless cell phone notified by Reverse 911, you must register your number. Note that during times of widespread emergency situations, cellular telephone networks may be overloaded so messages may not be sent by wireless carriers in a timely manner.

To register for Reverse 911, visit the Lehigh County Reverse 911 page. There you will find registration instructions and additional facts on this worthwhile, and potentially lifesaving, emergency alert service.

As a courtesy to all Upper Macungie Township residents, UMTPD officers will conduct security checks of your home, at your request, if you are leaving town on vacation.

Important: Residents requesting vacation house checks must secure all doors and windows before leaving. Any open doors and windows will be investigated by an officer and the house will be secured. In addition, we strongly recommend that you designate a local point of contact for our officers as well as list the best way we can contact you in case of an emergency. All residential check information is private data and will not be shared with the public. Information on this form will only be shared internally for the purpose of checking on your home.

Please Note: Police service calls, especially in emergency service calls are our department’s main priority. Therefore, this may affect our ability to check your home. Submitting this request does not guarantee 24-hour home protection.

The Police Department will not check houses that are:

• Homes that are vacant, for sale or under construction
• Homes in which the owner is in an extended care facility
• Homes where someone will be staying in the house (children, friends or family)
