LWT Police Sustainability Study
The Governor’s Center for Local Government Services (GCLGS), through the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), conducted a cost analysis of the Lower Windsor Township Police Department (LWTPD) at the request of township officials. This study, led by peer consultant Chief Nelson E. Whitney, II, evaluated the department’s operational efficiency, financial sustainability, staffing adequacy, and alignment with industry benchmarks. Data was sourced from township officials, the LWTPD, DCED municipal surveys, U.S. Census, PennDOT, and FBI Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) for 2024.
