Newtown Township, PA - Faces of the Newtown Township Police Department, Community Connection Spotlight

On July 5, 2023, we welcomed Valerie Becker as the Chief’s Executive Assistant. Val came highly recommended and endorsed with extensive law enforcement experience from Montgomery County. She joined the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office in March 1999, where she worked for 4 years as a legal secretary. Then, in June 2003, she joined the Montgomery County Detective Bureau, where she worked as an investigator and an investigative analyst. She also serves as a consultant with Saint Joseph’s University Center for Addiction and Recovery Education and is the Executive Secretary for the Pennsylvania Narcotic Officers’ Association.

Val quickly became a cornerstone of our department. She manages the daily administrative duties, leads our civilian support staff, is integral in many facets of the police department, and is a tremendous benefit to the community we serve.

Outside of work, Val enjoys spending time with family, going to the shore, playing games, making cheesy jokes, attending Zumba, and reading.
