Emergency Services
Essential information related to emergency services, preparedness, and public safety within White Township.
Citizens' Ambulance Service
Established in 1964, Citizens’ Ambulance Service (CAS) has provided emergency medical services (EMS) and non-emergency ambulance and van transportation to residents of White Township, Indiana Borough, and surrounding municipalities and counties. With an excellent reputation for patient care and decades of experience, White Township entered into an agreement with CAS to provide all EMS services within the township.
At a time when ambulance services nationwide are struggling with inadequate reimbursements and rising costs, White Township recognized the need to financially support CAS and formally acknowledge them as an essential service, similar to the fire department. CAS is a nonprofit organization, with two of its stations located in White Township.
To help cover the cost of readiness, a $75 per household fee will be assessed.
The Township has contracted with CAS for 2026 and will cover the cost.
Pennsylvania STate Police
The Pennsylvania State Police provides law enforcement services in White Township. Their barracks is located at 35 Fenton Road, White Township. Troopers are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, responding to emergencies and ensuring public safety.
The State Police safeguard over 150 miles of state and local roads across over 40 square miles of township territory. The Board of Supervisors expresses its gratitude for the dedicated and professional service provided by the Pennsylvania State Police to White Township residents.

Founded in 1878, the IFA is the largest fire department in Indiana County and operates as a combination department, primarily staffed by volunteers. The department maintains two stations, one in Indiana Borough and one in White Township.
The IFA welcomes community members who wish to serve and protect their neighbors. Volunteering is a rewarding way to give back, develop valuable skills, and make a meaningful contribution to the community. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and reside in the service area. A junior program is available for youth ages 14-17.
