On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the PA Dog Warden and authorized associates will be in our area conducting checks with dog owners to verify that they are properly licensed and vaccinated. Some dogs will be checked based on recent reports/complaints, and others may be checked based upon past records. Some may be randomly encountered and checked to be sure everything is up to date. This notice is being made in order to be transparent and to publicly notify of the activity.

Isn't this just one of the cutest things? We think so, and we understand that as humans, we feel the need to intervene to "protect" them from what we believe to be a danger (abandonment, illness, injury, etc.) when often it's simply nature doing it's thing. Yesterday, a good-hearted citizen brought a brand spankin' new fawn to us because they felt it was in danger. Thankfully, the fawn showed no sign of injury, did not exhibit signs of dehydration, and had no insect infestation. The little fella simply decided to "explore" a little and got himself noticed. We immediately reached out to Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center, gave the details, and determined the best course of action, which then allowed the fawn to be able to thrive once again. We encourage everyone who follows us to also follow Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center. They are the experts in wildlife rescue and they're our "go to" when we have critter calls that we need guidance with. Please remember - fawns WILL be left alone for HOURS while the doe is off feeding and doing "mama" things...she WILL, in almost all cases, be back to care for the fawn. Young (raccoons, opossums, fox, skunks) all need the same protections, so PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THEM or try to relocate them without first consulting folks who are versed in such handling. Always feel free to contact us if you have such a situation so we can come out to check on it and determine the best course of action - or contact Pocono Wildlife directly. Enjoy the beauty and new life that Penns Woods offer us!

This pupper was found running in the 100 block of Centre Street earlier. This situation was reported to the White Haven Police and the dog has been taken to the Hazleton Animal Shelter to be cared for until the rightful owner claims it.

Good morning, Freeland! Today is the day. If you or someone you know has a dog that does NOT yet have their 2026 County issued license, then send them to the Borough Administration Building at 526 Fern Street. Representatives from the Luzerne County Licensing Bureau are here, as is the PA State Dog Warden. Questions or concerns about dogs in your neighborhood that you would like to address? Stop by and have a chat. Remember, dogs found to be unlicensed and/or without proper vaccinations, as well as dogs running at large or not under control, are subject to receiving a citation either under state law or Borough ordinance. Let's make this event a success, all around, by taking at least this step in the right direction to avoid a potential hassle later.

Yesterday, our department investigated a neighborhood complaint in the upper portion of Walnut Street. As a result of the investigation, it was discovered that a homeowner was deceased inside their residence. There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding this event. Police were assisted at the scene by the Freeland Fire Department and Freeland Code Enforcement.

On Monday, May 11, 2026, the Freeland Police department continued the investigation of the burglary that occurred at Lora's Beef and Cheddar on Front Street. Acting on information developed and tips from the public, we were able to locate a suspect. As a result of the investigation thus far - which, in part remains underway - Blaine D. WILSON was arrested and charged with felony counts of burglary and related offenses. Additional charges are pending further investigation. Mr. WILSON is currently lodged in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, where he was taken for overnight arraignment, and remains incarcerated with a bail of $10,000 cash being set. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for a date later this month. All persons arrested are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law.

Good morning, everyone. This little cutie was brought to our station moments ago after being found alone on the Sandy Run Road. If anyone knows who the poocher belongs to, please contact us at (570)636-0111 - option #1 for police, then extension #2 for the Chief. We can only hold dogs for a short while before having to transport to the Hazleton Animal Shelter.

Know this fella? Send us a PM with any information or call us at (570)636-0111, select option #1 for the police department, then either extension #1 for the duty officer or extension #2 for the police chief. If this is YOU, may we suggest that you turn yourself in so that we can understand your situation and advise the District Attorney about any cooperation you may offer. The establishment that you burglarized has suffered significant loss and we certainly need to have a word with you.

Ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce you to the fella who we'll amicably refer to as "Scooter". "Scooter" thought it would be a good idea to take this transportation vessel and deprive the rightful owner of it and go for a ride while the owner conducted business in a local retail establishment this afternoon. If you know "Scooter", send us a private message - all assistance is held in confidence. If YOU are "Scooter", give us a call at (570)636-0111 (Option #1 for police then extension #2) to arrange to come talk with us about it so that we can work with you on bail and then tell the District Attorney's office how you cooperated with us to determine any earned leniency with charges. Oh, yeah...and let's try to bring it back in the condition that you "found" it in, so that the owner can have their investment back.

Attention Keepers of the Canines: If you haven't done so yet for 2026, this will be the time to get Doggo his or her Luzerne County dog license. Come meet PA State Dog Warden Jeanine Laputka, Representative Walsh (and/or a staff member from his office), and a representative from our Police Department and, at the same time, get one step closer to being up to date with dog law requirements. We hope to see you there!
