Which Number to Call
General Questions and Council Business
Call 610-734-7625 for the main township office. Use this line for council meeting information, routing a question you aren’t sure where to send, or anything the directory above doesn’t cover. Public records requests under Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law go through the Open Records Officer in Room 104 of the Municipal Building, in person during business hours or by mail.
Police
The Upper Darby Police Department’s administrative number is 610-734-7693, and the station is at 7236 West Chester Pike. One thing to know before you dial: Delaware County has no separate non-emergency dispatch line. The 911 center handles both emergencies and routine calls, and Upper Darby officers are not dispatched from the station. If you need an officer to respond for any reason, call 911.
For a copy of a police report, call the Records Office at 610-734-7678. Incident and accident reports are $15.00, payable by check or money order only. Motor vehicle accident reports may also be available online through CrashDocs.org, though not every report is posted there.

Call this office about building, plumbing, or electrical permits; zoning; use-and-occupancy certificates; resale certificates for a home sale; and rental dwelling licenses. Know your property address and permit type before you call for a status update.
