School Safety

Thanks to cooperation from the Abington School District and local private and parochial schools, the Abington Township Police Department has been a leader in promoting a safe environment for learning.

Full-time School Resource Officers are assigned to both the Abington Junior and Senior High School, while specially-trained Abington Police Officers teach D.A.R.E. at each public and parochial elementary school as well as several private schools.

In addition, a safe schools tip line (1-877-APD-TIPS) allows students an opportunity to anonymously alert APD to concerns regarding potential violence.
