====Police, fire, and emergency services==== Haddon Township has three fire districts (a fourth, District 2, was dissolved in 2016), each governed by five elected fire commissioners. Fire District 1 is the Westmont and Bluebird section, protected by the Westmont Fire Company No. 1, which was established in 1902.<ref>[http://www.westmontfireco.org/content/service/ History], Westmont Fire Company No. 1. Accessed October 14, 2013.</ref> The former Fire District 2 covered the West Collingswood Extension section. Since being dissolved, Haddon Township now contracts directly with the [[Collingswood, New Jersey|Borough of Collingswood]] Fire Department (Station 16-1) for fire protection in the Extension section. Fire District 3 is the Bettlewood, Heather Glen, Heather House and Heather Woods sections and it contracts with the Westmont Fire Company No. 1 for fire protection from District 1. Fire District 4 is the West Collingswood Heights section, protected by the West Collingswood Heights Fire Co., Westmont Fire Co. (Station 15-1) and West Collingswood Heights Fire Co. (Station 15-2) are both Haddon Township companies, but separate entities with their own chiefs.<ref>[http://www.haddontwp.com/?page_id=17 Government], Haddon Township. Accessed October 14, 2013.</ref> Ambulance service throughout the Township is also divided, mirroring the fire service. The Westmont Fire Company No. 1 provides both fire and EMS services. John D. Medes has served as Chief since 2007. Police coverage throughout the entire township is provided by the Haddon Township Police Department, which also provides services for [[Audubon Park, New Jersey|Audubon Park]].<ref>[https://www.haddontwp.com/departmets/police-department/ Police Department], Haddon Township.
