Township Receives $50,000 Grant

Penn Township Police Department received a $50,000 grant from the state for the purchase of six additional Panasonic Toughbook computers and a Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser. Police Chief Mike Mastroianni applied for the grant with the help of State Senator Bob Regola who presented the check to the Township Commissioners at the August meeting.

The computers will complement the eleven computers already in service that officers use to check the status of individuals and vehicles. The additional police cruiser will allow the truck inspector to exclusively use a department SUV to store his equipment.
