The Wyomissing Borough Council recognized the need for police services for its residents in 1914, which was begun by the Pennsylvania State Constabulatory (now the Pennsylvania State Police) continued with the formation of the Wyomissing Borough Police Department. The history of police services is documented in the Wyomissing Borough Police Department 1914- 2014 100 Years of Quality Professional Policing in the Borough of Wyomissing…a pictorial and time line account written by Lieutenant Thomas D. Endy in 2014. The time line documentary includes an appendix of the Wyomissing Hills Borough Police Department. 

Additionally, a Roll Call of police officers, their ranks, awards, and Mayors of Wyomissing is provided and will be updated as needed. Yearly addendums will be added annually.
