👏💙 Congratulations to Officer Gavin Blanks — Lancaster Police Department’s October 2026 Employee of the Month! 💙👏
Officer Blanks has had an incredible few weeks, and we couldn’t be more proud to recognize him for the work he continues to do for our department and community.
A few weeks ago, Officer Blanks responded to a call for an unresponsive infant. When he arrived, he immediately began performing CPR on the baby. His quick actions helped bring the baby back, and after being checked out, we’re happy to say the baby is doing well. ❤️
Then, just last week, Officer Blanks played a major role in breaking a case involving construction materials being stolen from one of the new residential developments in our area. His investigation and dedication helped put the pieces together and move the case forward.
From responding in a moment when every second mattered to following through on an investigation and helping solve a case, Officer Blanks continues to show what it means to serve this community.
We are incredibly proud to have you on the LPD team, Gavin! Congratulations on being named October Employee of the Month! 👏💙
Help us congratulate Officer Blanks in the comments! 👇

Today, our command staff and detectives had the opportunity to meet Lancaster County’s new Forensic Pathologist, Dr. Benjamin Daggett.
We are excited to welcome Dr. Daggett to Lancaster County. He will be performing autopsies in-house at the new county morgue, which will be a huge asset to our investigators and the cases they work.
Having a forensic pathologist right here in Lancaster County will be a wonderful resource to our detectives and law enforcement partners as we work to investigate deaths, determine causes and manners of death, and provide answers to families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
We’re looking forward to working with Dr. Daggett and are glad to have him here in Lancaster County!
