New Officers Hired
June 13th, 2008
The Department hired two officers after approval of the board of supervisors. The officers graduated from the Police Academy at Harrisburg Area Community College. Officer Braxton Ditty and Christopher Martinez were sworn in on June 3, 2008 by Magisterial District Judge Scott Gross. The officers started working on May 23, 2008 and will begin their field training immediately following graduation. Both officers will bring the Department’s staffing to 16 officers and this will certainly help with the call volume which historically rises during Summer months.
The Department is still searching for an additional officer to raise our staffing levels to 17. Officer Kevin Romine is still in Afghanistan serving with the United States Army and will be returning at the end of the year.
