The two-story, white brick building is attached to the municipal offices on Monongahela Drive. It's where Glassport's five full-time police officers and nine part-time officers report for duty, same as their predecessors did in 1903, when the daily salary of an officer was $2.
Holding cells were once on the first and second floors of the building. Now, the second-floor cells have been converted to spaces for evidence and storage. The first floor has two cells, each with a porcelain toilet, just a few feet away and around a corner from the radio room.
The Glassport Police Department responded to 4,903 calls in 2013, for incidents ranging from domestic disputes to public intoxication to drug offenses. That same year, the department recorded 593 offenses, for crimes including burglary, larceny and vandalism.
Type: Main Office (HQ Building)

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
