Join us at Diamond Drug, 670 Philadelphia St. in Indiana to properly dispose of unused prescription drugs. Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That's dangerous and often tragic. That's why it was great to see thousands of folks from across the county clean out their medicine cabinets and turn in - safely and anonymously - a record amount of prescription drugs. More locations and information can be found at https://takebackday.dea.gov/
From the Desk of PSP: NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 8, 2021 Motorcycle Safety Awareness Indiana, PA ... Spring weather is here and the Pennsylvania State Police would like to remind motorists of an increased prevalence of motorcycles in our daily travels. In 2019, 174 motorcycle riders (drivers or passengers) were killed in crashes on Pennsylvania roads and highways. This accounted for 16% of the total 1,059 fatalities on Pennsylvania roads and highways in 2019. (Source: 2019 Pennsylvania Crash Facts and Statistics) Highway safety for all motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians is a shared responsibility and troopers offers these tips for keeping motorcyclists and their passengers safe: Limit distractions in your vehicle. Ensure your vehicle’s headlights, taillights, and brake lights are functioning and lit when required. Always take an extra moment to check for oncoming motorcycles before turning or proceeding into an intersection. Talk with motorcyclists you may know about the hazards and challenges they have encountered in their travels. Troopers also offer these safety tips for motorcyclists: Complete an approved Pennsylvania Motorcycle Safety Program course. Wear an approved helmet, glasses/goggles, and proper attire every time you ride. Conduct a pre-ride check of your motorcycle’s tires, brakes, and lighting equipment. Always maintain a heightened level of awareness for potential vehicle, pedestrian, roadway, and environmental hazards. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Additional information on motorcycle safety is available on the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation website. MEDIA CONTACT: TFC. Cliff Greenfield
Sheriff Fyock along with everyone at the Indiana County Sheriff’s Office would like to express our deepest sympathy’s to the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office and to the family of Somerset County Sheriff, Brad Cramer after learning that he passed away Saturday night. Sheriff Cramer has spent the past 6 years serving as Somerset County Sheriff. Prior to becoming the Sheriff, he worked in the Sheriff’s Office as a Deputy since 2009, as well as working 4 years for the Conemaugh Township Police Department and 30 years at Somerset Borough Police Department, including 6 years as their Police Chief. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

*** Wolf Administration Grants Sixth Extension to License to Carry Firearm Permits *** Harrisburg, PA The Pennsylvania State Police announced today that Governor Tom Wolf has granted an additional extension to license to carry firearms permits. Permits expiring on March 19, 2020, or later are now valid through June 30, 2021. The previous extension was set to expire on March 31. The extension of license to carry permit expiration dates is necessary due to the closure of som...e county courthouses and sheriff's offices, as well as other ongoing COVID-19 mitigation efforts. In Pennsylvania, an individual 21-years-old or older may apply for a license to carry firearms by submitting a completed application to the sheriff of the county in which they reside or, if a resident of a city of the first class, with the chief of police of that city. The sheriff has 45 days to investigate and determine an individual's eligibility to be issued a license, which is valid for five years. A license to carry firearms is required to carry a firearm concealed on one's person or in a vehicle. Any person who carries a firearm concealed on or about his person except in his place of abode or fixed place of business without a valid and lawfully issued license commits a felony of the third degree. For more information on carrying a firearm in Pennsylvania, visit psp.pa.gov.
During the recent power outage, several traffic signals in the area were affected. When the power goes out, drivers should exercise caution on the roadways as power outages will likely impact several traffic signals. If a traffic signal is out and there are no law enforcement officer directing traffic, treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Always look in all directions and then proceed only after the intersection is clear.
On behalf of myself and staff at the Indiana County Sheriff’s Office, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Sheriff Robert E. Fyock and Staff
Don't forget about the fire hydrants when you are clearing your sidewalk and driveway. Our friends at the Fire Department will be grateful as it can save a lot of time should they need to use it!!
