🖤 REMEMBERING DISTRICT ATTORNEY JIM MARTIN 🖤
The Upper Saucon Township Police Department joins the law enforcement and legal communities in mourning the loss of former Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin.
For 25 years, DA Martin served the people of Lehigh County and Upper Saucon Township with dedication, determination, and an unwavering commitment to public safety and justice. He worked closely with law enforcement agencies throughout the county and was a strong partner to the men and women who put on the badge every day.
His career was defined by a commitment to holding those who committed crimes accountable, protecting victims, supporting law enforcement, and making our communities safer.
For those of us in law enforcement, working with a District Attorney is about more than cases and prosecutions. It is about trust, partnership, communication, and knowing that we are working together toward the same goal. Jim Martin understood that relationship and dedicated much of his career to it.
We, at the Upper Saucon Township Police Department, extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, former colleagues, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him.
Thank you for your service, DA Martin. Your dedication to Lehigh County, to public safety, to our department, and our residents will not be forgotten.
🖤 Rest in Peace, Jim.
