Oakland Township approves Saxonburg policing through 2025

OAKLAND TWP — Township supervisors voted 2-1 on Wednesday, April 2, to approve an agreement for part-time policing of the township by Saxonburg police through the remainder of 2025.

The decision came one month after supervisors tabled conversation on the matter at the March meeting. At that same meeting, the board announced that a petition to place the decision on the ballot in November must be led by a resident.

At the April meeting, Supervisor Shaun Krill made a motion to approve an intergovernmental cooperation agreement to bring back Saxonburg police to the township. The agreement will see the department police the township for 20 hours a week.

Krill told attendees that the board first approached state police before pursuing any agreement with Saxonburg.
