Chief Hook and Detective Sergeant Heiden were proud to attend the Reading Police Academy graduation to celebrate our newest officer. Officer Griffith joins us with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Alvernia University. We are thrilled to have her on board and look forward to the great work she will do for our community!

🤝 We would also like to extend a congratulations to the Reading Police Department and the academy leadership on celebrating 50 years of excellence in law enforcement training. Cheers to five decades of preparing dedicated officers!
