Police Service Area
The Police Service Area (PSA) Program was created by Philadelphia Police Commissioner Ramsey. Lt. Mark Overwise is the police officer responsible for PSA #3, which covers most of West Mt. Airy. The same officers will work in PSA #3 every day, rather than move all over the 14th Police District. Assigned officers will become familiar with crime trends, informal community leaders, community groups and those who live and work in the area.
SAVE Sticker
The 14th District Police has a SAVE Sticker which helps deter auto theft. If your car has a visible SAVE sticker and is being driven between midnight and 6:00 a.m., the police have the right to stop the car and ask the driver for ID. To get a sticker, visit the 14th District (43 W. Haines Street) and fill out some paperwork. Each SAVE sticker has a unique identification number.
