So you find yourself in a bit of a pickle in the great state of Pennsylvania. Maybe you witnessed a pie-eating contest gone wrong (those blueberry filling incidents can get messy!), or perhaps a rogue herd of Amish buggies is causing a traffic jam (hey, it happens). Whatever the situation, you need to get in touch with the Pennsylvania State Police – the guardians of justice with fantastic hats (seriously, those Stetsons are sharp).
But don't fret, fellow citizen! Here's your one-stop guide on how to contact these fine folks, without getting tangled up in red tape or lost in the Pennsylvania wilderness while trying to find a signal.

Dial 911: When Things Get Serious (and We Mean REALLY Serious)
This one's a no-brainer. If you have a true emergency – a crime in progress, a medical situation, or anything that requires immediate assistance – dial 911. Don't hesitate, don't try to be a hero (unless you have a secret stash of kryptonite and a cape lying around), just pick up that phone and get help on the way.
Remember: Don't call 911 for a non-emergency – like requesting a taste test of the pie at the scene of the aforementioned contest (trust us, it's probably best to leave that to the professionals).
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
For Less Pressing Matters: Reaching Out to Your Local Barracks
Let's say you need to report a suspicious groundhog digging a particularly elaborate tunnel system under your porch (hey, those little guys are crafty). Or maybe you have a question about the legalities of using a Zamboni to mow your lawn (it's a surprisingly efficient method, but check the local ordinances first).
In these non-emergency situations, you'll want to find your nearest Pennsylvania State Police barracks. Luckily, the good folks at the PSP have a super handy online station directory [Station Directory, Pennsylvania State Police, psp.pa.gov]. Just type in your zip code and voila! Instant access to contact information for your local troopers.
Bonus Tip: If you're planning a road trip across the state and want to know where the nearest barracks are located beforehand, this directory is your best friend.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
