We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fellow officers of Lieutenant John Hamil. He was always right next door when we needed him and played an important role in training several of our officers at the Police Academy. His presence, dedication, and friendship will be deeply missed, but he will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Lieutenant Hamil. Thank you for your service and for the lasting impact you made on so many. 🖤🙏

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, fellow officers, and the entire Philadelphia Police Department on the tragic loss of Officer Shane Seiber, who was cowardly ambushed earlier this morning.

Officer Seiber was a 10-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, but above all, he was a beloved son, devoted husband, and loving father. His loss is a heartbreaking reminder of the sacrifices law enforcement officers and their families make every day in service to their communities.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, loved ones, colleagues, and all those grieving this tremendous loss. May Officer Shane Seiber rest in peace, and may his family find strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time.

Gone too soon. Never forgotten. Rest in peace, Officer Seiber. 🖤💙

Please keep the second Officer who was shot in your thoughts and prayers as he continues to fight for his life.

🇺🇸 25 years later, so much has changed. Yet one thing remains unchanged: we have not forgotten the sacrifices made by the first responders or the innocent lives lost.

First Day of School Traffic Advisory.

Today is the first day of school for students at Glenolden Elementary. Please use extra caution when traveling through the area, as the influx of students, families, school buses, and pedestrian traffic will greatly increase. Expect minor delays and allow additional travel time as we welcome students back for the 2026 school year.

Please slow down, remain alert, and watch carefully for children crossing streets and entering or exiting vehicles. Thank you for helping keep our students and community safe!
