The Police Department consists of 3 full-time officers and 7 part-time officers, who also provide coverage to Wall Borough. United Volunteer Fire and Rescue is a consolidation of East McKeesport Fire Co.# 2 and Wall Volunteer Fire Department. Eastern Area Prehospital Services provides ambulance service to Borough residents. The Borough is part of the East Allegheny School District together with North Versailles, Wall and Wilmerding. Recently, the East Allegheny School District gave East Field to the Borough.

Additional work includes a new backstop, team benches, retaining wall repairs and improved drainage at the entrance.The Mayor and Borough Council are pleased to make these improvements to East Field ,not only for the residents of East McKeesport, but for all the children of the neighboring communities who use East Field as part of the East Allegheny Athletic Association.
