On September 27, 2026, several Oxford police officers submitted resignations as the borough moves to dissolve its own police department and become part of the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department.
The borough’s plan calls for the local department to cease operations, with the regional force—already serving New Garden, West Grove and Avondale—taking over police services beginning Jan. 1, 2027. Officers indicated uncertainty about their future roles as a factor in their decisions.
