Looks like the Easter Bunny stopped by early and left us a gift out front of the station. As much as we appreciate it, it’s not quite our size. Anyone missing a bike?

We would like to congratulate Officer Chase Smith, Officer Mark Clark, and Officer Matthew Smith on receiving Letters of Commendation.

Officer Clark and Officer Chase Smith apprehended a armed robbery suspect who fled on foot into the City of Chester. Their teamwork and determination led to a successful apprehension.

This dog was brought in this morning after being found wandering around the Walmart. He is safe with us, enjoying his new accommodations, and pretending he runs the station.

He won’t give us his name, but he did demand a lawyer and a cheeseburger.

Do you recognize him?
