Your Safety

Valley Forge National Historical Park has law enforcement personnel on patrol to protect you while you are in the park. These park rangers have full police authority and may issue citations and arrest violators.

Valley Forge National Historical Park recently combined our police dispatch operations with the Montgomery County Emergency Operations and Dispatch Center. This change, along with a project to assign addresses to each structure in the park, has increased the ability of law enforcement to locate you quicker during an emergency.

Should you need law enforcement while you are in Valley Forge National Historical Park, you may contact them using these numbers:

For an emergency dial 9-1-1

For non-emergency situations dial 610-275-1222
