The Mifflin Township Police Department has been in operation since 1961, when the only police protection was a part-time police department. In November 1981, the voters (417 to 362) passed a 5-mill tax levy, after which the Police Department became full-time. In May 1984, an additional 3-mill levy was passed (360 to 121) to help with the expenses of maintaining the Police Department.

Today, the Department operates under a total of 12 mills, less rollbacks and property lost to annexation. The Department has 5 full-time officers to maintain 24-hour police protection. Seven reserve officers who receive the same police academy training that is required of full-time officers, provide additional manpower. The Department conducts additional on-the-job training for all new reserve officers. Because of their training, experience, and dedication, reserve officers have been hired whenever a full-time position becomes available.

The fleet consists of 4 marked cruisers and 1 unmarked car. The Department is dispatched by the Franklin County Communications Center by calling 9-1-1.

Township officers, under the direction of Chief George W. Franey, offer their help and assistance to the special needs of Mifflin Township residents and any other person who finds themselves in need of assistance while in the Township.

The Department patrols the unincorporated area of the Township—approximately 3.9 square miles with a population less than 5,000.
