The PHA Police Department (PHAPD) has served the public housing residents since 1971.
PHAPD works with Philadelphia Police to provide residents with a safe environment 24 hours a day.
The PHAPD also provides valuable services such as DARE, GREAT, Explorers Program, Domestic Violence Intervention, Conflict Resolution, and Child Identification programs.
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. has recognized PHAPD as a Nationally Accredited Police Department in 1998.
