PITTSTON TWP. — The Bi-County Airport Board at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport on Thursday approved a three-way sharing of the cost of the Law Enforcement Officer program.

The board voted 5-1 to approve the two-year agreement that calls for the airport to be staffed with police officers from surrounding municipalities from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day.

Romilda Crocamo, Luzerne County Manager, said the cost fluctuates.

“Based on the current running rate, it is approximately $120,000,” Crocamo said. “We budgeted $167,000 for 2026. We bill for hours actually worked.”

Half of the cost will be paid by the airport and the two member-counties — Luzerne and Lackawanna — will split the other half, paying 25% each.
