I was honored to join fellow LE leaders in reading 18 @PhillyPolice names into the @NLEOMF Memorial at night's vigil. From P/O Jaime Roman, to heroes lost in 1918,1935, and 1980- we will never forget. Continued thanks to all who work towards helping us honor their legacies.

8 people were shot in a mass shooting on July 5 at the 7elements Lounge. Nino DaSilvio, 22, has now been charged with aggravated assault and weapons possession. @USMS_Philly and @PhillyPolice now seek DaSilvio who is 5'11, 150 pounds. Tips to USMS at 1-866-865-TIPS(8477).
Congrats to Police Academy Classes 410 and 411 on their graduation! Your legacies begin today - make them count. Serve with honor, lead with integrity, and leave a legacy you'll be proud of! Stay safe, and congrats on your new careers! #LetsGetToWork


Meet Bailey, @phillypolice's first official crisis canine. With his own badge and a calm presence, he's already making a difference for our officers and community. Thanks to @6abc for sharing his story: 6abc.com/post/philadelp…
At this time, 911 services have been restored in Pennsylvania. An investigation into what caused intermittent outages will continue, and we will update you on that as soon as we can. We worked with counties to fully test that the system is operational. Please do not call 911…
