Changing of the Guard
Changing of the Guard took place on Sunday, December 20th, when Chief Russell Bumm retired after 26 years of service to the Manor. He was recognized for his service at the December 15th Council meeting. Mayor Bryne presented the Chief with a shadow box containing the various badges and awards he was given over the years. State Representative Frank Farry presented and read a citation from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives recognizing his service.
Police protection for the Borough is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Services covered during scheduled hours are handled by the Borough’s part-time police force. When Borough Officers are not on duty, law enforcement services are provided by the Pennsylvania State Police, ensuring continuous public safety for all residents. Any direct inquiries regarding police operations may be directed to the current Chief of Police.
The Mayor of Langhorne Manor Borough exercises oversight autority over the police department in accordance with Pennsylvania Borough Code.
The Police Department is housed in the new addition to the Borough Office building located at 618 Hulmeville Avenue. Entrance to the Police Department is on the side toward the rear of the building. While on duty each officer must wear a badge or shield with Police and Langhorne Manor Borough on it for easy identification by Borough residents.
