For the month of October you'll notice the addition of the Pink ribbons on our police units. The ribbons are added in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many of our residents, family, friends, and visitors have unfortunately experienced this type or another type of cancer in their lives.

This small symbol is our way to show support for anyone battling through this.

We want to extend a sincere thank you to Fuel Required in McDonald and Amplify Services in Hickory for covering the costs to outfit the cruisers for this recognition. Also a big thank you to Team Nutz in Bridgeville who outfits our cruisers to expedite the vinyl ribbons for our first year in participating in this worthy cause!

On 08/27/2026 (tomorrow), our Fort Cherry School District returns for the 2026-2027 school year. This means more traffic and school buses return to our roadways for arrival times and departure times. This also means many families are sending their children off (some for the first time) for the school entrusting their safety to us, bus drivers, and educators. We at the police department come to you all who live, visit, and travel our roadways to ask you to please allow more time. Put down the phones and distractions and help us ensure those children and employees make it to their destination safely. Follow the speed limits, STOP fully at posted stop signs, and obey those red signals on the buses. Watch for slowing vehicles and keep an eye out for the folks walking to bus stops. Being a few minutes later for your destination is always a better option than an accident or worse. If you are a student driver, being tardy is better than citations, accidents, or sometimes sadly life changing events.

This message can relate all year but those first few weeks back to school are confusing and add traffic circumstances to our roadways. Please, allow some extra time and take some effort to pay extra attention. Our officers will be out doing their best to help ensure our roadways are safe. We cover a large area and a little help from you all goes a long way. Contrary to social media opinions, most law enforcement officers don't want to issue citations, they simply want safer streets, respond to citizen complaints and would like responding to less serious accidents. Help us not have to stop motorists by following the law and rules of the roadway. It takes a village to keep our children and folks safe. I always say drive on every road like its your own road where your children play in the front yard. We thank those in advance that read this and help us by being better motorists.

We hope all the students and staff have an excellent school year. Lets go Rangers!

Informational Release:

On August 12th, 2026, this department along with Pennsylvania State Parole Agents took Dante Sunseri into custody for parole violations. Dante Sunseri is on parole from multiple felony offenses out of Colorado State to include Kidnapping and Sexual Assault. While taking Sunseri into custody it was observed he was likely in the process of destroying evidence in a barn structure located at the property of 260 Southview Road, McDonald PA, within Mount Pleasant Township, Washington County, PA. After a brief compliance check by Agents produced evidence of the manufacture and distribution of ma*****na. A search warrant was completed by this department and sought through Magisterial District Judge Manfredi. The search warrant was approved and then served upon the property of 260 Southview Road, McDonald PA. Requests were made for assistance to search the property, structures, and residence. Assistance was provided by Pennsylvania State Parole, Pennsylvania State Police, and The Washington County District Attorney’s Drug Task Force.

The search produced 3 truck loads of evidence obtained from a barn structure outfitted with four stories and multiple grow rooms to produce large quantities of ma*****na. Hundreds of planters, grow lamps, hydroponics systems, furnace systems, exhaust systems, scales, and filtration systems. The search also produced 9 fi****ms, multiple calibers and rounds of am******on, and a large amount of ma*****na with other numerous pieces of drug paraphernalia. Dante Sunseri is prohibited from possessing fi****ms.

This investigation remains ongoing and no additional information is available at this time.

We wanted to thank all agencies who provided assistance to include: District Attorney Jason Walsh’s Drug Task Force, the Pennsylvania State Police, and Pennsylvania State Parole. We also extend a thank you to McDonald Volunteer Fire Department for the use of their drone and side by side vehicle and the Mount Pleasant Township Volunteer Fire Department for personnel on site to help.
All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
