Cheltenham Township Police Association Expresses “Deep Concern”

Letter received from the Cheltenham Township Police Association:

The Cheltenham Township Police Association (CTPA) is deeply concerned about the threat of laying off police officers from your department.

Relying on other departments to provide sufficient support to complete the mission of the Jenkintown Police Department seems either short-sighted, overzealous or both. Currently, the Cheltenham Township Police Department is zealously working to bring our staffing levels up to full complement in order to provide the best level of service to the residents of Cheltenham Township. The additional responsibility of providing both routine and habitual support to another municipality takes away from the needs of our residents.

The CTPA supports the Jenkintown PBA in finding an amicable and mutually agreed solution to the challenges facing Jenkintown Borough.

Respectfully,

Michael D. Moore

CTPA – President
