What a great turnout in North Whitehall, PA for the final Officer Down seminar this year. We had around 80 attendees and a fantastic set of hosts. Many thanks to Jodi Rowlands at Lehigh Carbon Community College for allowing us to use their venue. And, our deepest gratitude to Lt. John Christman for making this event possible.
South Whitehall Police Department has great group of men and women devoted to public safety and service, led by a devoted boss, Chief Thomas Toth. We felt honored to spend time in their company. Did you know that the state of PA has the most police departments in the country? Many of these departments are five-man organizations and some have only one or two full-time officers.
One such department was the Freemansburg Police Department, where Officer Robert Lasso (EOW 8/11/2011) worked. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to talk with officers who knew him and worked with him during our trip to the Allentown area and look forward to presenting again next year.
