The Community Support Unit (CSU) aims to enhance police services in Radnor Township with a strong emphasis on victim services and response to substance abuse and mental health emergencies. Among these duties, the new Licensed Social Worker (LSW) & police officers will respond immediately to mental health emergencies and follow up on victims of crimes post incident. The CSU will also be available for response to calls in high density areas to supplement the Patrol Division.

By collaborating with Township stakeholders, including business owners, local schools, and places of worship, we can navigate challenges facing the community through non-traditional policing efforts. Establishing meaningful relationships can very well reduce, if not prevent crime from occurring.

The Unit will be supervised by Sergeant Daniel V. Lunger, a second-generation Radnor Police Officer and 17-year veteran of the Department. He will oversee four Officers who have received prior training in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), Crisis Intervention Training (CIT), and De-Escalation Techniques and Isabel Cook, Radnor Township Licensed Social Worker.
