Mount Pleasant Borough Police Deparetment

Mount Pleasant EMS, was founded in 1976. A group of ten members of the Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department Rescue Squad realized the need to have two separate volunteer emergency service providers for Mount Pleasant Borough. With increasing skills needed for both Emergency Medical Services and Fire Services, and the increasing call volume in both areas, the ten members petitioned the Mount Pleasant Borough to separate from the Fire Department.

Mount Pleasant EMS has been providing Volunteer Emergency medical Service to the residents of Mount Pleasant Borough and surrounding communities since its inception.

Mount Pleasant EMS moved into their new station at 100 East Main Street, Mount Pleasant Borough, PA 15666 in 1980. The building that had three bays and a small area for meetings and offices was funded by a Community Block Grant and the ground was donated by the Levin Family of Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant EMS continued to see a rise in call volume over the years and had to increase its fleet of ambulances.

A two story addition was dedicated in 1993 and is now providing a state of the art training facility where public CPR, first aid and community activities are facilitated. Mount Pleasant EMS has also provided EMS continuing education for its members and the surrounding ambulance services. Mount Pleasant EMS participates with the Penn State Continuing Education Program as a satellite for EMS training.
