The West Reading Police Department is proud to congratulate Sergeant Brandon Breitenstein on his promotion to Sergeant! 🎉👮‍♂️

Sergeant Breitenstein’s path to this milestone reflects years of dedication to the community and a commitment to continual growth in his profession.

He began his career serving part-time officer with Robeson Township and Brecknock Township and full-time with Douglass Township before joining the West Reading Police Department full-time in May of 2017. From the start, he distinguished himself as a dependable and knowledgeable officer, later becoming a Field Training Officer responsible for shaping and mentoring new members of the department. 🎓🚓
