The value of public safety to South Fayette is immeasurable.
The township invests ample time and resources into public safety because it is the foundation of community well-being.
Police officers, firefighters, ambulance personnel, emergency management professionals, and other employees and volunteers are the frontline heroes who swiftly address emergencies, provide critical medical care, and prevent and respond to crime.
Their presence instills a sense of safety and trust among residents and businesses, promoting a stable and peaceful environment that lowers costs and allows the community to thrive. When we feel secure, we are more likely to engage in social activities, build strong relationships and participate in community events.
This summer 2024 issue of South Fayette Connect highlights some of our public safety team, who have worked hard to protect the township. Learn how our police chief, lieutenant and retiring school resource officer have enhanced safety through continuing education and community programs. Meet the resident who volunteers as our emergency management coordinator. And learn how posting clear house numbers helps firefighters and other first responders find you quickly in an emergency.
You can stay informed by signing up to receive emergency alerts, police news and other information by email or text.
First responders drive community development and foster a sense of unity and purpose. I am proud of their work and hope you enjoy learning more about them.
