Led by Police Chief Jason Haberman, the Mt. Lebanon Police Department consists of 46 sworn officers. Of that, 32 are patrol officers, with others staffing investigative services, traffic services and community outreach units. The department also includes a school resource officer and 45 school crossing guards.

NEW In 2023, the municipality promoted Jason Haberman to chief, Steve Ruby to deputy chief of police operations and hired Dan Cuiffi as deputy chief of police support services. Haberman was hired as deputy chief of support services in 2018. Ruby, a 14-year veteran of the MLPD, headed the department’s wellness program and supervised the K-9 program. Cuiffi served 24 years with the Wilkinsburg Police Department, and was a criminal investigator with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections before coming to Mt. Lebanon. Last year, the department hired its first-ever social services coordinator, Jaqui Stilson. She serves as a resource not just for the police department, but for all municipal employees and for Mt. Lebanon residents. The department also added a firing range, located at the public works yard on Lindendale Drive. The range will make it more convenient for officers to improve their marksmanship.

NOTEWORTHY Looking for ways to increase its public outreach, the department is reviving an old program, Coffee With A Cop. Officers visit local coffee shops to give residents a chance to talk with them about anything.
