Although we were unavailable, Pennsylvania State Police Troopers out of the Coudersport PSP Barracks responded quickly, and investigated efficiently to find no direct threat is eminent to the school. The individuals have been identified and CONSEQUENCES will come. The GBPD trusts our school’s administration, Security Officer, and PSP when they confirm everything is ok at the school. Any additional concerns can be addressed to the department or school. Thank you.

Special thank you to the Galeton Parks & Recreation for donating three bicycles to the Galeton school! We found out that some students didn’t have bicycles for the bike parade. We mentioned it to our friends at Parks & Rec and they didn’t hesitate to purchase three bicyles and donate them to the school. The school will keep the bicycles ar the school for any students in need for a ride for future bike parades!

It was an amazing turnout for our first NATIONAL NIGHT OUT! Thank you to the Galeton citzens and people from out of town that came out to support the Police Department and town! Many first responder and local non-profit organizations participated in our event! We were also joined by our local State Police Barracks in Coudersport and special guests the State Police Aviation division Trooper 6 out of Franklin and State Representative Martin Causer!

A special thanks to the main organizer of the event, Borough secretary Amanda! The event would not have happened without her drive and dedication! Ellie, the part-time secretary also played a big role in prep for tonight. The crowd pleaser, State Police helicopter would have never came without Vince Bowen pulling some strings!

We hope that this event was able to allow everyone to interact with our department, state police, and other EMS agencies. National Night Out’s goal is to enhance police/first responders relationship with its community as we would not be able to serve without our citizens!

The Galeton Borough Police Department is truly appreciative of its citizens and mutual aid first responders. We truly thank you!

Simply asking questions or directing your concerns about ordinances to the Police Department or Borough office can resolve concerns, before they become social media issues! Thanks!
