🇺🇸 25 YEARS LATER — WE STILL REMEMBER. WE STILL HONOR. WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation experienced a day that changed us forever.

September 11, 2001, brought unimaginable heartbreak, but it also showed the world something powerful about America. In our darkest hours, heroes stepped forward, strangers helped strangers, neighbors embraced one another, and communities stood together. ❤️🤍💙

Today, the West Norriton Township Police Department proudly joins our community in remembering the 2,977 lives lost, the families who never got to welcome their loved ones home, and the incredible first responders who ran toward the danger while others were running away.

🚔 We remember the police officers who answered the call.

🚒 We remember the firefighters who climbed those stairs.

🚑 We remember the EMS personnel and medical professionals who rushed to help.

🇺🇸 We remember the service members who answered our nation's call in the years that followed.

💙 And we remember the everyday Americans whose courage, kindness, and compassion reminded us what it means to stand together.

For those of us in public safety, September 11th will always carry a special meaning. The badges may have been different, the uniforms may have been different, but the mission was the same: help someone who needs you.

As we mark the 25th anniversary, we encourage our community to do more than remember how America hurt that day.

Remember how America came together afterward. Be kind to a stranger. Check on a neighbor. Thank a first responder. Fly the flag.

Teach our younger generations what happened and tell them the stories of courage, sacrifice, and unity that deserve to live on forever.

Today, we pause as one community to honor every life lost, every family forever changed, and every hero who answered the call.

May we continue to honor them not only through remembrance, but through kindness toward our neighbors, service to our communities, and unity with one another.

Today, West Norriton remembers together. 🇺🇸

We remember the lives.
We honor the heroes.
We stand with the families.

And 25 years later, we still promise: NEVER FORGET.

🦁🚔 WNPD at the Matt Bradford Family Fair! 🐯💙

What a great evening at the Matt Bradford Family Fair at the Elmwood Park Zoo!

The West Norriton Police Department had a wonderful time getting out into the community, meeting so many families, talking with parents, and spending time with all the kids! Seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter, and having the opportunity to interact with everyone is exactly what community policing is all about.

Events like this give our officers the chance to connect with children and families outside of an emergency or a call for service. Whether it was stopping by to say hello, sharing a laugh, taking a picture, or simply having a conversation, every interaction helps build relationships and trust within the community we are proud to serve. 💙

A big thank you to Representative Matt Bradford and his wonderful staff for putting together such a fun, family-friendly event and for inviting WNPD to be part of it.

And most importantly, thank you to all the families and kids who stopped by to see us! You are the reason we love attending events like these. 🚔❤️

We came to engage with the community… but we’re pretty sure the animals still got more attention than we did. 🦒😂

Building relationships. Creating memories. Strengthening our community one smile at a time.

We’ll see you at the next one, West Norriton! 💙🚔

🚔 COMMUNITY SAFETY REMINDER FROM WNPD 💙

The West Norriton Police Department is asking our residents to please take a few extra moments each day to help protect themselves, their neighbors, and their property.

Recently, we have received reports involving:
• A stolen vehicle from the 500 block of S. Schuylkill Avenue
• Thefts from inside motor vehicles in the areas of Yorktown South, Yorktown North, and the Crossroads within the neighborhood

We are sharing this information not to cause concern, but because we want our community to be aware and take these simple precautions seriously.

🔒 LOCK YOUR VEHICLES — EVERY TIME. This includes vehicles parked in your driveway. Please do not make your vehicle an easy opportunity for someone checking door handles.

🎒 REMOVE YOUR VALUABLES. Wallets, purses, cash, electronics, keys, and other valuables should be brought inside, especially overnight.

🔫 PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE FI****MS IN YOUR VEHICLE OVERNIGHT. If you legally possess a firearm, take the time to remove it from your vehicle and properly secure it. A stolen firearm can quickly become a serious danger to the entire community.

🚲 LOCK UP YOUR BICYCLES. Whether your bike is outside your home, on your property, or somewhere in the neighborhood, please secure it when it is not being used.

🌙 Before you call it a night:
✅ Lock your vehicle
✅ Remove valuables
✅ Remove and properly secure fi****ms
✅ Bring your keys inside
✅ Lock your bicycles
✅ Secure your garage and exterior doors

We know these may seem like small things, but small habits can make a big difference.

We care deeply about the safety of our residents and our neighborhoods. Our officers will continue doing everything we can to keep West Norriton safe, but community safety works best when we work together.

Please look out for yourself, your family, and your neighbors. If you see suspicious activity, don’t ignore it , report it.

Stay alert. Lock it. Secure it. Look out for one another. 💙🚔

🚨🐾 WNPD HAS ONE IN CUSTODY… AND THIS ONE IS PRETTY CUTE! 🐾🚨

West Norriton, we need your help solving a very serious case of “Who Let the Dog Out?” 😂🐶

This morning, our officers located this four-legged fugitive wandering in the area of 25 Liberty Ave. No license, no ID, and when questioned about where they live… complete silence. 🤐🐾

We did conduct a thorough investigation, which included a microchip scan, but unfortunately, we came up empty. 🔎

Our new friend appears to possibly be a service dog and is wearing a patch that says “Lucky.” 🍀 We’re not sure if Lucky is the pup’s name, but until we hear otherwise, Lucky it is!

We also have no idea how long Lucky has been out exploring West Norriton, but we’re pretty sure there’s a family somewhere wondering where their four-legged best friend went. ❤️

For now, Lucky is safe, warm, and in police custody, and we can confirm there will be no charges filed for roaming without a license. 😎🚔🐕

If Lucky’s family isn’t located beforehand, our newest temporary member of WNPD will be transported to the SPCA around 10:00 AM when they open so Lucky can receive further care.

❤️ All jokes aside, we know how much our pets mean to our families. Please share this post so we can get Lucky home where those paws belong.

If you recognize Lucky or know the owner, please dial 911 to get in touch with West Norriton PD.

🍀🐾 Let’s make Lucky actually lucky today and get this pup home! 🐾🍀
