The Penn Hills Police Department is guided by strong leadership and a commitment to serving our community. Acting Chief Jason Bonace leads the department as the executive officer, overseeing all operations and the department’s budget. Under his leadership, we work hard to make sure our goals and mission are carried out every day.
Supporting the Acting Chief are four dedicated lieutenants, each responsible for key areas of the department:
-
Lieutenant Joseph Snyder leads the Criminal Investigative Division, focusing on solving crimes and supporting victims.
-
Lieutenant Gary Renko oversees the Uniform Patrol Division, ensuring our patrol officers are available and ready to respond to community needs.
-
Lieutenant Michael McGuire manages administrative functions such as the Records Division, evidence control, and the coordination of school crossing guards.
-
Lieutenant Adam Lawrence is responsible for Support Services and also assists with oversight of the Emergency Medical Services Division.
Running a police department takes teamwork and attention to detail. Some of the most important responsibilities include scheduling officers, maintaining vehicles and equipment, enforcing policies and procedures, and providing continuous training. Behind the scenes, our leadership team manages countless daily tasks — all to keep the Penn Hills Police Department running smoothly and our community safe.
