Tomorrow is the Drug Take Back here at Lansdale Borough Police Station 10AM- 2PM.

There are many signs of Spring around the world, the Swallows returning to Capistrano, or the Cherry Blossoms blooming in Washington DC. But the one true harbinger of Spring is the activation of the Kugel Ball at Railroad Park!! The Kugel Ball was silent last year due to COVID-19 but this year she is running in all her glory. Stop out at Railroad Park and enjoy!!

Attempting to pick out just one quote from Martin Luther King Jr. is almost impossible. It turned out that we were unable to, and we settled on two quotes that are as timely today as they were when they were originally expressed by MLK. Martin Luther King Jr. said, We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. These words ring as true today as they did in 1964, if not louder. As a country we are becoming more and more divided and polarized, racially, socially, and politically. As we celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., we would be wise to remember his words of warning. And that we are all in this together.

As difficult as this is to say, especially during the holidays, we will not be accepting food donations at the police station for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19. During the holidays we are often blessed by the generosity of the community. These blessings take the form of cakes, pies, cookies, candies, pretzels and the occasional dozen doughnuts. Unfortunately we will have to abstain for the time being and we thank you for your continued support and generosity!! We will still be collecting non-perishable food items for the LT. Patty Simons Law Enforcement Food Drive!!!! The collection box is in our lobby!

Happy National Redhead Day to all of you Redheads out there! Special shout-out to our two favorite Redheads, Sgt. North and Ofc. Kruppenbach.

Law Enforcement continues to see more and more phone, email, and Internet scams. Most of these scams are targeting three traits in humans, our fear, our greed, or our charitable nature. Many of these scams are well planned and executed. However, there is one GOLDEN RULE! If the Scammers are asking for payment with gift cards it is ALWAYS, 100% a SCAM!!! No legitimate business takes gift cards as payment. The Silver and Bronze rules are: If it sounds too good to be true ...it most likely is, and NEVER give out your information, account numbers etc. If you need to file a police report about a scam, please dial 911. If you have any questions about scams you can email us at [email protected]
