Police Hiring
Summary
The township added five new police officers and honored a sergeant, two officers and two first aiders who saved an 80-year-old woman during a welfare check in Fords. Neighbors who reported not hearing from the resident made the difference. Good news for public safety staffing in a nationally accredited department.
