History
A police committee was set up in May of 1894 to hire a police officer for the Borough. In June 1894, the committee reported to the Borough Council that they "highly recommended Mr. B.A. Fox as he is the only applicant whose duties it shall be to patrol the streets of the borough between the hours of 11PM and sunrise". Officer Fox started his job on July 1, 1894 and received a salary of $40 a month. His duties also included attending to the town's street lamps.

Current Day Police Force
The current police force, headed by Chief John Saddic, consists of one police sergeant, six full time officers, and five part-time officers. Also, we have a bike unit, and bloodhound K-9 unit.

History
Prospect Park Fire Company No. 1 was organized on March 13, 1895. By the end of May 1895, a fire engine and hook and ladder had been ordered, and a decision was made to install fireplugs in the Borough.

By mid-June 1895, 700 feet of hose with couplings had been purchased for 43 cents a foot. As part of the fire company's fund raising, 10 children were going door-to-door for contributions.

Current Day Fire Department
The current Fire Department, headed by Fire Chief James Simmonds, consists of approximately 35 active volunteers, and 150 inactive volunteers.

If you are interested in volunteering, feel free to stop by the firehouse.
