Our Chief of Police, Carter Mook, has completed one of the most respected leadership programs in all of law enforcement, the FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar, known as LEEDS.

The FBI created this program in 1981 specifically to develop the executives who lead police departments like ours. Over two one-week sessions in Virginia, Chief Mook worked alongside chiefs and commanders from across the country, and internationally, on leadership, management, and running a department that truly serves the people it protects.

In the photo, Chief Mook is receiving his certificate from FBI Leadership Education Unit Chief Corey Hudson.

We're proud of the work Chief Mook puts in, at the seminar and every single day for the people of Millcreek. Please join us in congratulating him! 👏💙

🚸 Would you know when to stop? One wrong move around a school bus could cost you $250, 5 points, and your license for 60 days.

Here's Pennsylvania's School Bus Stopping Law, plain and simple:

🛑 Stop at least 10 feet away in all directions, whether you're behind the bus, approaching it, or at an intersection where it's stopped.

🛑 Stay stopped until the red lights turn off, the stop arm folds in, and all children are safely away from the road.

🛑 The only exception: opposing traffic may continue if a physical barrier, like a median or guide rail, separates the lanes.

A few seconds of patience keeps our kids safe. Never move until every child is out of the roadway.

Every so often, a call comes in that asks everything of the officers who answer it. June 21 was one of those days.

That afternoon at Scott Park, six of our officers responded to a man in crisis — a military veteran who was struggling and had fallen 30 to 40 feet down a ravine. What they did next wasn't about protocol. It was about staying calm, keeping him talking, and refusing to give up on him. They reached him, and they made sure he got the medical and mental health care he needed.

We're proud to name these six officers our July 2026 Employees of the Month: Lt. Heynes, Cpl. Makowski, Cpl. Drozdowski, Cpl. Steiner, Ptlm. Riggle, and Ptlm. Burkley.

This veteran spent his life serving others. On this day, our officers got to serve him right back. That's the kind of people they are and we couldn't be prouder to have them. 💙

When it matters most, our first responders show up. Now they'll have a new traffic safety unit to back them up, thanks to state funding secured by Representative Ryan Bizzarro. Grateful for the support that keeps Millcreek roads safe!

UPDATE: Motor vehicle crash Interchange Rd and I79

On 8/18/26 at 2038 hrs the Millcreek PD were dispatched to Interchange Rd at the I79 intersection for a motor vehicle accident. A motorcycle operated by a 33-year-old Millcreek man was traveling West on Interchange Rd continuing through the intersection. A white SUV operated by a 24-year-old Millcreek woman was traveling eastbound on Interchange Rd attempting to turn left to enter 179 northbound. As the white SUV turned it was struck by the motorcycle. The operator of the motorcycle died of his injuries at the scene. The driver of the white SUV was transported to AHN Saint Vincent for injuries.

Investigators are in the process of reconstructing the crash to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Because the investigation is ongoing, no conclusions regarding fault, speed, or other contributing factors can be made at this time.

Anyone who witnessed this accident is asked to contact the Millcreek Police, Cpl. Matt Shollenberger, at (814) 838-9515 ext 546.

A Statement from Police Chief Carter Mook

"I want to address the video that has been circulating online showing two of our officers responding to a First Amendment audit and referring to the individual with insulting language.

First, let me be clear: individuals engaged in First Amendment audits, such as recording in public spaces, photographing government buildings, or questioning officers about department policy, are exercising a constitutionally protected right. Officers are expected to treat every member of the public with professionalism and respect, regardless of whether we agree with their purpose or find the interaction frustrating. That standard doesn't have exceptions for people we find annoying or provocative.

The language used by our officers in this video fell short of that standard. Name-calling has no place in how we engage with the public, whether someone is a critic, a bystander, or anyone else we interact with in the course of our duties. It reflects poorly on this department and undermines the trust we're working to build with this community.

I've reviewed the footage and have opened an internal review of the incident, consistent with our standard process for reviewing officer conduct complaints. That review will look at the full interaction, not just the isolated comment, and will determine whether any additional action including retraining or discipline is warranted. I'm not going to prejudge the outcome here, but I want the community to know this is being taken seriously and not brushed aside.

I'd also ask the community to hold both sides of these interactions to a fair standard. Officers are human beings working in an often tense, high-scrutiny environment, and that context matters. But it doesn't excuse unprofessional conduct, and it's my job to make sure our officers meet the standard this community expects and deserves.

I appreciate the residents who bring these videos to our attention. Transparency and accountability aren't things we're afraid of; they're things we're committed to."

In May, Patrolman Mark Fritz was called to check on some suspicious activity at a local storage facility. After talking with everyone involved and with storage management, it looked like a rental dispute for management to sort out. But before he left, Ptlm. Fritz made a point of documenting the units and their contents on his body camera, just in case.

Fast forward more than a month. While working station duty, he spotted a PSP Erie tip line post about a storage unit burglary over in Greene Township. The vehicle and the people in the photo looked awfully familiar. He recognized them from that earlier call, reached out to State Police, and saved his footage.

That footage helped PSP Erie get a search warrant, track down the vehicle, and question those involved. One person confessed to burglarizing several storage units and named others. Ptlm. Fritz's sharp eye and thorough work played a big role in getting these arrests made quickly.

Nice work, Ptlm. Fritz and thank you to our partners at PSP Erie!
