We will be participating in this fundraiser for the Tunkhannock Little League. Please come out and show your support.

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Whereas our law enforcement agencies play an essential role in safeguarding the rights and freedoms which have been guaranteed by the Constitution to every American citizen; and... Whereas it is important that people throughout our country know and understand the problems, duties, and responsibilities of their police departments and that members of our law enforcement agencies recognize their duty to serve the people by safeguarding life and property, by protecting them against violence or disorder, and by protecting the innocent against deception and the weak against oppression or intimidation; and Whereas the Nation's police departments have grown to be modern and scientific law enforcement bodies which unceasingly provide a vital public service; and Whereas the Congress, by a joint resolution approved June 21, 1961 (75 Stat. 94), has designated the week of May 13-19, 1962, as Police Week in recognition of the contribution the police officers of America have made to our civilization through their dedicated and selfless efforts in enforcing our laws, and has also designated May 14th as Peace Officers Memorial Day in honor of the Federal, State, and municipal peace officers who have been killed or disabled in line of duty; and Whereas that resolution requests the President to issue a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe such period with appropriate ceremonies and activities: Now, Therefore, I, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of the United States, and upon all patriotic, civic, and educational organizations to observe the week of May 13-19,1962, as Police Week with appropriate ceremonies in which all of our people may join in commemorating police officers, past and present, who by their faithful and loyal devotion to their responsibilities have rendered a dedicated service to their communities and, in so doing, have established for themselves an enviable and enduring reputation for preserving the rights and security of all citizens. I further call upon the people of the United States to observe Monday, May 14, 1962, as Peace Officers Memorial Day in honor of those peace officers who, through their courageous deeds, have lost their lives or have become disabled in the performance of duty. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed. DONE at the City of Washington this tenth day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred and eighty-sixth JOHN F. KENNEDY

In regards to yesterday’s welfare check post, that individual has been safely located. We appreciate all the shares and support.

Between the thin red line and the thin blue line, lies the thinnest gold line. That gold line represents those that are rarely seen but mostly heard. The calm voice heard in the dark night. Dispatchers. The golden glue that holds it all together. Happy National Telecommunicators week to our friends at the Wyoming County Communication Center, and dispatchers everywhere. We greatly appreciate your contributions to keeping our community safe.

We would like to thank the Tunkhannock Township Board of Supervisors for approving our recent request to purchase a RadarSign TC-400 traffic calming device. Besides displaying vehicle speed to approaching drivers, this device collects data that will assist us in our traffic engagement strategies and traffic engineering studies. If you would like to see the device deployed in your neighborhood, please contact us at 570-836-5255 or send us a private message. This applies to residents of Tunkhannock Township and Falls Township.
