Today, our department mourns the heartbreaking loss of Officer Kristen Yeager, who made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to a call for service on May 29, 2026.

Officer Yeager served our community with courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication. She answered the call to protect and serve each day, placing the safety of others above her own. Her commitment to her badge, her fellow officers, and the citizens she served will never be forgotten.

We ask that you keep Officer Yeager’s family, friends, and our entire law enforcement family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Officer Yeager. Your watch has ended, but your legacy of service and sacrifice will live on forever. We got it from here.

🖤💙 End of Watch: May 29, 2026

Once again, the Berks County District Attorney's office is warning the public of ongoing scams involving callers impersonating Deputy Sheriffs and Police Officers (using the names of actual officers), telling victims that they missed jury duty or failed to appear for court. Please share this information with relatives who may be vulnerable to these schemes.
Scammers are pressuring the victims into sending a payment electronically, such as Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Berks County law enforcement will NEVER call to demand money or payment over the phone. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately and never give out any personal or financial information.
