The Annville Township Police Department is on track to complete a merger with Palmyra Borough to form the Western Lebanon County Regional Police Department. According to a Facebook post released by the department, the anticipated start date is April 1, 2024. 

The department will be stationed at Palmyra Borough Hall with a substation in Annville. It will be run by Chief Andrew Winters of the Palmyra Borough Police Department.
