Newtown Township, PA - The Newtown Township Police Department would like to congratulate Police Corporal Nicholas Ciambrello on his graduation from the Philadelphia Highway Patrol Wheel (Motorcycle) School.

The demanding eighty (80) hour police motorcycle operation course challenges the officer both mentally and physically in the safe operation of a police motorcycle under stressful conditions, including slow cone maneuvers, high speed riding, and defensive driving techniques. In addition to patrol, the Newtown Motorcycle Unit has been tasked with dignitary escorts, fallen officer and firefighter escorts, special events, and community events. The “Highway Patrol Wings”, which are issued and proudly worn on uniforms by officers who are officially trained and pass the rigorous course, are heavier than they look. They exemplify and stand for the tradition and discipline of being part of the Highway Patrol Unit. Once earned, they go with you wherever your career takes you, and come with an awesome responsibility, which is to continually represent the best of the best in law enforcement.

Nick’s hard work and dedication continue the tradition of making the Newtown Police Department one of the premier agencies in Bucks County.

Newtown PD also congratulates supervisors and officers from Bensalem Township, Warrington Township, Easttown Township PD’s, along with members of the Philadelphia Highway Patrol
who also had graduates. We would also like to thank the instructors of the Philadelphia Highway Patrol Drill Team who hosted the course.

Stay safe!
