Halloween "Trick or Treat" is being celebrated on Friday October the 31st, Between the hours of 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Police will be out in force in both marked and undercover units patrolling to keep the trick or treaters safe. Chief Bogats wants to remind all of the kids that when they see a marked police car to wave and say hello. Officers on patrol will be handing out glowsticks and treats to all kids both young and old. ADDO will also be out and about.

Here are some tips for safe trick or treating; Wear costumes with some reflective wear so traffic can see you. Only cross the street at marked intersections. Trick or treat with one or more persons. Make sure costumes are comfortable and that children can see and breath properly out of masks. Last but not least, if you suspect candy has been tampered with, notify the police by calling 911, bring the candy to the police station and we will scan it and check it for you. The fire department will again house the candy safe house where firemen will check candy for kids too.

The 5th annual K-9 Car Cruise was a huge success. On Saturday September the 20th, 2008 over 130 classic cars invaded Bridgeville and gathered at the Birdgeville Volunteer Fire Department located on Commercial Street. Dash plaques were given out to the first 100 cars and trophy plaques were given out to the best in show in seven different categories. A K-9 demo followed along with a meet and greet ADDO and Officer Jim Lancia, his handler. Over $2,600.00 were raised to pay for ADDO's training in 2009. Above are some photos of the event.

Chief Bogats, Jr. secured a grant for a new K-9 car. The Bridgeville Police got great news in June! We have been awarded a $25,000.00 grant through the PA. Department of Community and Economic Development. We owe alot of thanks to Senator John Pippy's Office for their untiring assistance in helping to keep public safety a key issue in our community. The vehicle will be road ready in the next couple of weeks and will be sporting a new look with a new light bar and additional graphics. The car will be a part of a five year cost savings project to the borough as we were able to also include the upgrade of a 5 year manufacture's warranty that covers most components of the car for the next 75,000 miles. The car was purchased at Woltz and Wind Ford.
