The Port Vue Police Department is based at 1194 Romine Avenue. The police department is under the leadership of Mayor Brien A. Hranics, Chief David Petruski and Sergeant Kevin Atkins. There are currently 4 full-time and 3 part-time officers serving the borough.

==History==
In 1891, approximately 500 residents of Lincoln Township decided to create a new borough. They met in a school house on the old Edmundson farm, and initially thought of naming the new borough "Grandview". However, because of the beautiful view of the port that McKeesport maintained on the Youghiogheny River, they agreed on Port Vue instead. Since then, war veterans and coal miners commonly lived in Port Vue. Port Vue borough was incorporated on September 20, 1892.{{citation needed|date=August 2023}}
