Presentation to the Board of Commissioners and Police Dept. by Marley Chintalla

At the October 14, 2009 Hanover Township Commissioners meeting Marley Chintalla, a senior at Hanover Area High School, presented a check in the amount of $1,090.00 to the Hanover Township Commissioners and Police Department for the purchase of a bullet proof vest. The following letter was presented to Marley by Commissioner Chairman Bagusky.

Dear Marley:

As Chairman of the Hanover Township Board of Commissioners and on behalf of the Commissioners, Hanover Township Police Chief Albert Walker and police officers, we would like to thank you for the $1,090.00 donation towards the purchase of a bullet proof vest for the Hanover Township Police Department.

We understand that you raised the funds during a car show on August 30, 2009 as your Senior Project at Hanover Area High School. We would like to thank you for the time, effort and hard work you did in raising the funds for our police officers.

A bullet proof vest is a valuable life saving piece of equipment for a police officer. More than one-third of police officers murdered last year were not wearing bullet proof vests. The risk of dying by gunfire is higher for officers not wearing a vest. Over the past decade, 43% of the 1,671 officers who died of any cause in the line of duty weren't wearing a vest.

Once again we would like to thank you for having a strong interest in the safety of our officers and to help them provide a safer community to live in.

Sincerely,
Albert J. Bagusky, Chairman
Hanover Township Board of Commissioners

Halloween Safety Tips from the Hanover Twp Police Dept

Halloween is a fun time of year... Whether you are a parent or a "Trick or Treater", here are some things you can do to help make this Halloween a safe one:

	Keep costumes short to prevent trips, falls and other bumps in the night.
	Try make-up instead of a mask. Masks can be hot and uncomfortable, and more importantly, they can obstruct vision- which is dangerous when crossing streets or going up and down stairs. When crossing streets or going up or down stairs, remove the mask before doing so.
	Cross streets at corners when possible. Always look both ways and never cross between parked cars.
	Wear light colored clothing and/or reflective tape on costumes so people driving cars can see you.
	Carry a flashlight so you can be seen.
	Never "Trick-or-Treat" alone. Go with a parent, older brother, sister or group of friends.
	Never go into a house while "Trick or Treating".
	Do not eat candy that has not been inspected by a parent, or in which the wrapper is torn, open or tampered with.
	Visit only the homes of people you know.
