On July 1st, 2022, members from the Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department received a commendation from the Chester County District Attorney's Office. The commendation is in recognition of their extraordinary efforts in the investigation, arrests, and prosecution of the attempted murder of a 9-year-old in Westtown Township on Nov. 23, 2020*.  In addition to the police work involved, the officers and their families collected donations to make sure the child had the resources needed to recover from this horrific incident.
