As many members of the community are aware, news of the possible dissolution of the Jenkintown Police Department has recently come to light.

This news is deeply saddening and troubling to us.

The officers of the Jenkintown Police Department stand ready to work alongside Jenkintown Borough Council, Mayor Lerman, Chief Scott, and the entire community of
Jenkintown to reach a solution which does not involve the stripping of the borough’s independent status. With a combined service record of 143 years, your police officers have come to think of Jenkintown as their own. We love the community and its citizens, and hope for the opportunity to continue to faithfully serve.

We encourage anyone who has concerns about the proposal to disband the police department to reach out to your elected representative and to attend meetings to make your voice heard.
