The board advised the public that it had received a letter from the District Attorney of Beaver County suggesting the resolution.
Public Safety [20:20]
– Police Chief suggested the department adopt a health and fitness program. This program allows officers to partake in a four-course class that would test them on their physical fitness. If they pass all four classes, they will receive eight hours of compensated time. This is in hopes that it will help to motivate township officers to stay in shape throughout their careers.
