Our friend Nicholas came home from the hospital this week, and we were grateful to stop by and wish him and his family well.

A special thank you to Springfield Fire Company - Station 44 for joining us and helping make the occasion even more meaningful.

📵 Pennsylvania’s Paul Miller Law went into effect on June 5, 2025, and beginning June 5, 2026, law enforcement will start issuing citations for drivers using handheld devices while driving.

The law prohibits the use of handheld phones for:
• Calls
• Texts
• Emails
• Any other interactive functionality
• Even while stopped at a traffic signal

Named in memory of Paul Miller, who was tragically killed in a distracted driving crash in 2010, this law aims to make our roads safer for everyone.

Hands off the phone. Eyes on the road. 🚗

Congratulations to the Springfield High School graduating class of 2026!

The graduation ceremony will be held tomorrow night, Thursday, June 4th. As in years past, upon the conclusion of this ceremony, there will be a fireworks display. The fireworks are scheduled to begin at approximately 9 PM.

If you or someone you know, including our four-legged friends, do not enjoy fireworks, please make the necessary arrangements to prepare for this event.

Today, Chief Shull and Lieutenant DiTrolio visited their daughters as they made the walk through from SLC, Scenic, Sabold, ETR and SHS as part of the graduation tradition.

Congratulations!

While our role is to protect and serve, some of the most meaningful moments come from simply being there for members of our community who need support and encouragement.
Our Association's mission is to serve the community both on and off duty, and we were honored to spend time with Nicholas and his family today.
Please join us in wishing Nicholas a speedy recovery. 💙 👮‍♂️
