Cub Scouts Visit Warren Township Police Headquarters

Submitted by Tricia Patricco

Nine Bear Cub Scouts and their parents from Pack 182’s Den 9 recently visited Warren Township Police Headquarters. The Scouts were taken on a tour of the new station by Officers Ross Portner and Luke Masterson. Everyone enjoyed a demonstration of finger-printing and discussion of crime scene forensics lead by Detective Rob Dinsmore. This enabled the Scouts to complete their “Forensics” adventure and learn some cool stuff in the process.
A plaque thanking the Warren Township Police Department for serving our community was created by Bernie Ryder as part of his “Baloo the Builder” activity requirement and was presented to the Officers during the visit. We are proud and thankful for the commitment of the Police Department to making our community safe.
