To report a crime or suspicious activity or if you need police assistance, call 9-1-1 for emergencies AND non-emergencies. Bethel Township has a 24/7 Police Department, but all calls dispatched through 9-1-1, including non-emergencies, will ensure a faster response time for your safety. |

| Useful Tips to Reduce Stormwater Pollution
What is stormwater pollution? Chemicals and materials that are dumped into storm drains from streets, gutters, neighborhoods, etc. can end up in the nearest body of water. If you wash your car at home, have you ever wondered what happens to the detergent and soap that runs down the driveway? These chemicals are one type of way that pollutants can affect water quality causing unhealthy water conditions. Small changes yield big results. View the useful tips below to reduce stormwater pollution. Interested in learning more about stormwater management (SWM)? Visit https://www.betheltwp.com/swm for more information.
