The City of Sunbury Police Department

09/11/2026

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, the Sunbury Police Department joins our nation in remembering the nearly 3,000 lives lost on a day that forever changed America.

We honor the law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, dispatchers, military members, and countless ordinary citizens who demonstrated extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We also remember the first responders who survived that day but later lost their lives from illnesses connected to their service at Ground Zero. Their sacrifice continues to remind us that the impact of September 11 did not end when the smoke cleared.

Twenty-five years have passed, but our responsibility to remember has not.

May we never forget those who went to work and never came home. May we never forget those who ran toward danger while others were running away. And may we never forget the unity, courage, and compassion Americans showed one another in the days that followed.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — September 11, 2026 🇺🇸

The Sunbury Police Department would like to clear up some misinformation that has been circulating today. The police department will remain transparent in all information that is legally allowable. To clear up today's events where numerous OFFICERS were seen in the parking lot, the OFFICERS were in fact U.S. MARSHALLS not ICE agents.

Thank You,
Chief Slack

Pennsylvania’s School Bus Stopping Law requires drivers to stop at least 10 feet from a school bus when its red lights are flashing and stop arm is extended.
🚌🛑🚌🛑🚌🛑🚌🛑🚌🛑🚌🛑🚌🛑🚌🛑🚌

Drivers must remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and the children have reached a place of safety.

💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
For a police-observed violation, penalties can include a $250 fine, five points on your driving record, and a 60-day license suspension. Automated stop-arm camera violations are handled differently and can result in a $300 civil fine.

🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸🚸
With students returning to school, this is an important reminder: slow down, stay alert, and NEVER pass a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing. A few extra seconds of patience can protect a child’s life.
