Our Mission
The primary mission of the York Police Department is crime prevention and the protection of life and property. The basis, however, of all police action is the law, and the credibility of the law enforcement profession will be measured by its concern and contributions to public welfare and by the guidance it provides to its employees towards achieving a high level of ethical practice.
The Youth Summer Camp hosted by the City of York Police Department is scheduled for June 3-7, 2024, running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. Geared towards children aged 8-12, this one-week camp aims to introduce them to various aspects of public safety. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with professionals from the Police, Rock Hill Bomb Unit, EMS, Fire Department, and Atrium Health Med Center Air helicopter. Each day will commence with a brief meeting followed by engaging activities like football, softball, basketball, and more. Special guests will join for each segment, enriching the experience. After lunch, the fun continues with additional activities or movies. Meals will be provided by York School District #1, with support from York Police Department School Resource Officers.
