A committee formed by West Reading officials last month is looking into the possibility of consolidating the borough’s police force.
James Gallen Jr., a borough councilman and committee member, said the committee – rounded out by Council President Kevin M. Conrad, Councilwoman Elizabeth Heckler and Mayor Shane J. Keller – will enter into discussions with neighboring municipalities and the state police regarding the future of West Reading’s troubled police department.
“We’re exploring consolidation as a cost-saving measure,” Gallen said, adding that Wyomissing would be “a natural fit.”
The talks will extend to other nearby departments, which could include Shillington, and Cumru and Spring townships, he added.
