Congratulations to Thomas on this outstanding achievement and the dedication it represents!

Officer Yeager is the third Pennsylvania police officer to be killed in the line of duty this year. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Today, our department mourns the heartbreaking loss of Officer Kristen Yeager, who made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to a call for service on May 29, 2026.

Officer Yeager served our community with courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication. She answered the call to protect and serve each day, placing the safety of others above her own. Her commitment to her badge, her fellow officers, and the citizens she served will never be forgotten.

We ask that you keep Officer Yeager’s family, friends, and our entire law enforcement family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Officer Yeager. Your watch has ended, but your legacy of service and sacrifice will live on forever. We got it from here.

🖤💙 End of Watch: May 29, 2026

We get a lot of questions dealing with federal government issues. While we appreciate hearing from you, questions like this need to be forwarded to “the next level.”

That’s one reason why we enjoyed having Joseph Nield (right in photo) from U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick’s office with us on Thursday to meet individually with constituents. Pictured with him is Trey Piper, my district office communications staffer.

Thanks Joseph!

Cumberland County farmers are now eligible for emergency loans to help with recovery from damage and losses caused by below-freezing temperatures in April.

The county has received a disaster designation which allows the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to extend much-needed emergency credit that can be used for replacement of essential items such as equipment or livestock, reorganization of a farming operation, or refinancing certain debts.

The USDA’s Farm Service Agency will review the loans based on the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability.

With half a million fans expected to take part in the FIFA World Cup festivities starting next month in Philadelphia, the PA State Police is offering tips to help visitors and residents protect themselves from crimes and potential scams commonly associated with large-scale events.

These include:

• Ticket Scams: Only purchase tickets from verified platforms.

• Accommodations Fraud: Be cautious of rentals, hotels or travel packages at “too good to be true” prices.

• Malware/Phishing: Social media may be used to send links to photos and videos of important event moments. The links may appear valid, but when clicked, malware is downloaded.

• QR Codes: Fraudulent QR codes may be placed in areas surrounding event venues to mislead unsuspecting attendees into believing the link is for legitimate sites to purchase merchandise, tickets, parking, meet and greet opportunities, or other goods. Avoid QR codes that are stickers, and always check the website URL after scanning a QR code.

• ATM Cash Traps/Skimming Devices: Use caution when using ATMs and points-of-sale terminals to withdraw funds or pay for items. Avoid using standalone ATMS or ones that show signs of tampering. If the cash doesn’t dispense immediately, report it to local law enforcement.
