DEPARTMENT HEAD:
Captain Crone, along with Officer David Madrak from Upper Dublin PD, were brought to the PowerDMS
headquarters as “super-users” and in an advisory capacity to suggest improvements to the system. This was an
outstanding opportunity to have the ear of the company to provide input and direction for future improvement
of an already robust product.
Captain Crone, Lieutenant Thomas, and Sergeant Foltz met with ADA Charles Volkert to discuss several issues
regarding current types of cases and the best course of action for our officers in these situations. It was a
productive meeting.
Captain Crone attended the Police Supervisors Meeting, a luncheon at Quality Office Products, a Public Safety
Captains’ meeting, a department head meeting, and a public safety coordination meeting.
Captain Crone presided over the PPAC monthly meeting and was once again nominated to continue as president
of this esteemed organization, along with the rest of the current executive board. He also attended a PLEAC
Commission meeting.
Perhaps the highlight of November was the CALEA onsite assessment. This was the culmination of the three-
year assessment period and the focus of much effort in the last few months. Assessors departed speaking well
of the agency and acknowledging what is already known to be the agency’s greatest strength: the character,
dedication, and professionalism of our employees. The agency is expected to receive re-accreditation at the
next conference in March.
The agency was contracted for additional staff at Capital City Mall and Walmart during the Thanksgiving-evening
and Black Friday shopping events. The events went relatively smoothly, in part due to our annual participation
and institutional experience in handling these holiday activities.
NALOXONE
There were no Narcan administrations this month by officers.

COMMANDER:
November was a much anticipated month for Capt. Crone and I. The CALEA assessors were scheduled to arrive
the last week in November. That meant we had to finish up with the proofs and get the station in order.
Unfortunately, I had scheduled my Thanksgiving week vacation before CALEA scheduled the dates of our
assessment. I assisted Capt. Crone until I left for my week of vacation on 11/17/17. I returned o home on
11/26/17 and the assessors arrived on 11/27/17. Capt. Crone did a great job preparing the agency for the
assessment. He worked hard and put in long hours. That effort paid off and the assessors were impressed by
our agency.
I also had to prepare for the Thanksgiving / Black Friday special details. LATPD was requested by Walmart and
the Capital City Mall to assist with traffic control and extra security details during their big sales events. Sgt.
Foltz and I met with management from both parties and set up the details. We provided services to Walmart on
Thanksgiving evening and to the Capital City Mall on Friday morning.

Thursday, November 22nd was Chris Yohn’s last day as EMS Captain with Lower Allen Township EMS as he has accepted employment with the Cumberland County Coroner’s Office. We wish him well in his new career challenges moving forward. With Chris’s resignation from the EMS Captain position, it became an opportune time to complete an overarching analysis of the EMS Department to determine the strategic vision of the organization. On November 21st an EMS ‘All Hands’ meeting was held with all staff detailing the transition vision as well as the duties and responsibilities of the line supervisors with Public Safety Director oversight. A follow-up meeting was planned for the first week of December with the EMA supervisors to discuss their roles in the transitioning organization. A meeting was also planned with the Public Safety Director and Life Team Operations manager Barry Albertson to discuss the ALS contract. These meetings are held periodically so that both management teams can keep positive communications. In the transition assignments will be made of staff for various functions, including training, supply and equipment management, vehicle maintenance coordination with Lower Allen Fleet, scheduling, and other administrative duties. Staff and supervision will be doing a 360-degree review of operational and administrative policy to determine the strengths, weaknesses, challenges and threats to the organization. The goal is to develop a strong cohesive and united EMS that continues to serve the Lower Allen community. Staff and supervisors will also be looking at how to implement the MOU with the Fire Department that placed responsibility for AEDs, fire supplies, and training on LA EMS and providing EMS Personal Protective Equipment under the Fire Company leadership through the LA Relief Association. Integrated training will also be an emphasis of the remainder of 2017 as well as 2018 with combined training between fire and EMS. The integrated response model will also be trained as we move toward a full-scale exercise for Integrated Response in the summer of 2018.
