Coatesville is in Chester County and is home to about 13,500 people. Certain parts of Coatesville are fairly densely populated. As a result of this density of population and other factors, several types of crimes occur in Coatesville with relative frequency. Those crimes range from such things as robbery, aggravated assault and other violent offenses to more serious charges like rape and homicide. Coatesville is policed by not only the local Coatesville Police Department at 1 City Hall Place in Coatesville, but also by the Pennsylvania State Police and Chester County detectives who assist the Coatesville Police Department with some of their more serious cases.
