Services Bureau
The Jefferson Twp. Police Department formed it Services Bureau in 1987. It began with a focus on crime watch and school programs. Today, because of the popularity and demand by the community for programming, the bureau has expanded from one to four officers incorporating Traffic Safety, School Resource and Community Services/Crime Prevention. See our links below.

Its Child ID/Fingerprinting program was introduced in 1989 and is still today one of the most requested programs. In 1990, the department introduced the DARE program to the schools and to date has trained over 4000 students. Most recently the Jefferson Twp. Police Department was the first department in the State to offer the DNA/Life Print Program to our school age children.  

The Services Bureau officers are available for a wide variety of presentation topics & programs at all levels including personal/stranger safety, traffic/ bicycle safety, seat belt/car seat safety, alcohol & drug abuse and crime prevention. All four of its officers also supplement the patrol bureau?s bicycle patrol unit.  The Services Bureau also administers our Vial for Life Program .

The Services Bureau also serves as the outlet for public information for the community. Capt. Eric Wilsusen serves as the public information officer for the department.  Recently, the department created an E-Mail Notification Service to notify our residents of important news and information. Be sure to visit our link to register.

Additionally the Services Bureau coordinates our vacant/dark home program, special needs program and is responsible for community & business relations. Forms to register for these and other programs can be obtained in our Forms center.
