Welcome to the Pennsylvania Regional Community Policing Institute's Website. We have designed exciting programs to help you understand communtiy policing, which strives to build effective police/community partnerships to improve police service delivery and community livability.

In partnership with both the Allentown and Bethlehem Police Department, ALERT Partnership, Lehigh University and the Lehigh Valley Hospital Health Network, we provide free community policing (and related topics) workshops and technical assistance to various law enforcement departments and agencies, local governmental agencies, and community groups. We value and encourage active community involvement.

We are one of twenty-seven Regional Community Policing Institutes nationwide funded by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and managed by a cooperative agreement with the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (OCOPS).

I invite you to check out our informational links and many exciting programs. One such program is our Online Learning Website at www.parcpi.org that offers professional development training. We hope you will visit often and take advantage of our changing variety of workshops, online training, and our highly acclaimed Executive Leadership Workshop designed for police, local government, and community administrators. We sincerely invite you to talk to us about your community policing needs.

Best wishes,



Alfred W. Dean, Jr.
Executive Director
