'Tis the Season for FIREWORKS...can you get prison time for setting them off?
Could I get jail time for setting off fireworks?
The PA Senate is reviewing a bill that could sentence a person to five to ten years for setting off fireworks.
The proposed bill will allow local municipalities to place their own restrictions on the type of fireworks and when they can be set off.

Be mindful of the DOG LAWS!
We all love to be outside in the beautiful weather....our furry friends included!
Here are just a few reminders related to your responsibilities as a dog owner:
1. All dogs must be under control and must not be allowed to run at large.
2. Dogs are personal property, and owners are responsible for damages caused by their dog.

"MAKING A DIFFERENCE"
Officer Volkert and K9 Kermit were featured in the Canine Courier for their recent work with Montgomery County Detectives as well as Abington Police Department. These separate incidents were two big jobs for our K9 team where Kermit was able to put his new skills to the test and prove how beneficial he is to Officer Volkert and policing.

Graduation is fast approaching..are you planning on being a SOCIAL HOST at the graduation party?
Pennsylvania state law prohibits selling or furnishing alcohol to minors.
Social host laws communicate to the community, both youth and adults, that it is unacceptable for those under 21 to drink alcohol.
Social host laws assist law enforcement in addressing underage drinking as a crime.
A homeowner may be charged with a criminal offense if law enforcement deems they have furnished alcohol to youth under 21 years of age.
