Happy 22nd Anniversary to Chief Golden!

Today, August 31st, marks the 22nd anniversary of Chief Golden, returning home from Active-Duty Service in the U.S. Army and his return from the war in Iraq, where Chief Golden spent his last two years of service. Coming home on August 31st, 2004

Chief Golden, was enlisted as a "Cavalry Scout" with his last unit being the infamous 1st Squadron 1st United States Cavalry Regiment, "First Regiment of Dragoons"

Chief Golden then enrolled himself into the police academy, in October of the same year, then being hired as a part-time officer with the YBPD on August 16th, 2005, then promoted to full time on September 5th, 2006.

Chief Golden re-enlisted into service, September 12th, 2001, after seeing the attacks on the twin towers.

Chief Golden when asked stated "Seeing those attacks, wrecked my heart. I knew my Country would need me, I was actually out processing at the time, as my first contract was ending. I was in the chow hall that morning, when I saw the news break out, after I was finished, I decided to re-enlist"

Chief Golden has been in service to Yardley Borough ever since.

Welcome Home Chief!

Upon popular request, and to honor Mr. Peter Cullen (the voice of Optimus Prime) who passed away this past Wednesday, here is “Yardley Sentinel”

Many of us Gen Xers, grew up watching this cartoon, playing with the toys, and always learned a lesson from “Optimus Prime”

Thank you for the memories Mr. Cullen.

SCAM ALERT — CALLER ID SPOOFING

Over the past week, the Yardley Borough Police Department has received reports from residents who stated that they received telephone calls appearing to come from the Yardley Borough Police Department.

During these calls, individuals have reportedly asked residents for money, questioned them about their immigration status, requested personal information, and threatened them with arrest.
Please be advised: These calls are not coming from the Yardley Borough Police Department.

The individuals responsible are using a technique known as “caller ID spoofing,” which allows them to manipulate the telephone number displayed on your caller ID. Although the call may appear to be coming from our department’s telephone number, it is actually being made by someone else.

The Yardley Borough Police Department will never call a resident and demand money, gift cards, electronic payments, banking information, or payment to avoid arrest. We will also never threaten someone with immediate arrest over the telephone for refusing to provide personal information or discuss their immigration status.

Residents who receive a suspicious call should:
• Do not provide personal, financial, or identifying information.
• Do not send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or electronic payments.
• Hang up immediately.
• Do not return the call using the number displayed on your caller ID.
• Contact the Yardley Borough Police Department directly using a verified telephone number if you have any concerns.

Scammers often attempt to create fear and urgency so that a person reacts before having time to verify the call. Please take a moment, hang up, and contact us directly.

We encourage residents to share this information with family members, friends, neighbors, and especially older or vulnerable members of our community.

The Yardley Borough Police Department remains committed to protecting our residents and keeping the community informed.
