Community Package Hub!

East Norriton Police Department Offers Community Package Hub Program!

Press Release: East Norriton Township Police Department

East Norriton Township, November 18, 2024

 

COMMUNITY PACKAGE HUB COMES TO EAST NORRITON POLICE DEPARTMENT!

Theft of packages is at an all-time high with an estimated 1.7 million packages stolen or lost every day in the United States. An estimated 36% of Americans have been victims of “Porch Pirates.” Online shopping increases every year and 2024 is shaping up to set records of package theft, as more people shop at home. Many shipping companies offer secure options for package drop off and pick up. With these trends in mind, the East Norriton Township Police Department would like to offer its residents another option:

Community Package Hub is a program designed to help prevent the theft of packages during the holidays. East Norriton Township Residents can have holiday packages sent to the department’s headquarters for safe keeping until they are able to pick them up. This service is free of charge!

To pick up your packages, stop by the police station with your government-issued identification matching the name on the package. Please provide proof of purchase or the receipt showing the package was sent to the East Norriton Township Police Department in your name. The package must be under 25 pounds and picked up within three days of delivery.

We will accept packages from Amazon, FedEx, and UPS. We cannot accept deliveries from the United States Postal Service.

Residents with any questions can call 610-272-0748 ext. 140 or email your question to Deputy Chief Thomas Douglas at tdouglas@eastnorritontwp.org
