More to come... rentwood B RI EFLY BR EN T WOO D BOR O U GH N ews Brentwood Borough Police Newsletter Hello, I hope everyone’s 2013 has been a great year. The Brentwood Council recently hired two new officers to the Police Department. Carl Rech and Farrell Wagner will begin as probationary police officers starting on November 4th, 2013. After completing a brief orientation period, they will be assigned to a departmental training officer for several months before being assigned to a permanent work shift. Both officers have held part-time positions at various other police departments and come to Brentwood with extensive training and experience. In addition to the newly hired officers, the entire police department has completed their yearly mandatory training assignments. In order to maintain their police officer certifications with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, all officers must qualify with the various types of firearms that are employed by the police department. Annually, it is mandatory that the officers attend and pass a certified first aid and CPR class conducted by our own EMS service; 44 Brentwood-Baldwin-Whitehall in addition, the officers are required to attend and complete several days of classroom work that is conducted at the Allegheny County Police Training Academy. As an FYI, I want to caution all residents to lock all vehicles that are parked in driveways and on the Borough streets. Several communities, including Brentwood, are experiencing a rash of thefts from vehicles left unsecured. In addition, remove or conceal all valuable items that can be seen by someone passing by. Be vigilant and report any suspicious individual looking into or trying vehicle door handles by dialing 911. In the spirit of the Holiday Season and on behalf of the Brentwood Police Department I wish you a Happy Holiday and safe New Year! Sincerely, Chief Robert D. Butelli
