Our deepest condolences to her family, friends and colleagues. May she rest in eternal peace.
On behalf of the entire Middletown Township Police Department we extend our most heartfelt condolences to the Central Berks Regional Police Department, and the family, and the friends of Officer Kristen Yeager.
Hearing of the tragic loss of Officer Yeager while she was answering the call to serve and protect is a heavy blow felt by the entire law enforcement community.
Officer Yeager’s courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication to her community represent the very best of what it means to wear the badge. Running toward danger and responding to those in need is a burden only a brave few choose to carry, and her commitment to that noble calling will never be forgotten.
