At its May meeting, the South Londonderry Township Board of Supervisors announced a proclamation for the dedication of National Police Week and heard updates about the police intern program and 2023 audit.
Chairwoman Faith Bucks presented a certificate to Police Chief William Reigle recognizing May 12 to 18 as National Police Week in South Londonderry Township.
“[South Londonderry Township] encourages all residents to join the township in the recognition of the services, sacrifices and efforts the South Londonderry Township Police Department makes to better serve the community,” Bucks said.
The board also heard a summary of the recently completed police intern program.
Amber Gray has been an intern for the township police department as a part of her social work graduate program since August 2023.
Reigle and the board recognized Gray’s professionalism and contributions to the department.

Notably, Gray created resource binders with information about social services for all of the officers to carry.
Additionally, Angela Shea of Garcia Garman & Shea PC presented the 2023 audit report.
Shea said the township’s financial statements were “in conformity with the cash basis of accounting and were fairly presented.”
