This year our department is doing a Autism awareness shirt sale for the month of April. $5 from every item sold will be utilized to purchase something for special needs children in our two wonderful parks in the borough. These items will be chosen based off of how many shirts we sell in conjunction with the Duryea Borough. Link is as follows and shirts will be available for purchase and pick up from Mad Tees in Dupont.

The enhanced Pennsylvania Move Over Law (Act 105 of 2020) goes into effect on April 27, 2021. (Tuesday)

It requires drivers approaching an emergency scene, who are unable to safely merge into a lane further away from the response area, to slow to at least 20 mph less than the posted speed limit.

An emergency response area is where an emergency vehicle has its lights flashing, or where road crews or emergency responders have lighted flares, posted signs, or try to warn travelers.

On this National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, it is the perfect time to show officers we understand how difficult their job is.

Join us today to show officers how much we understand their difficult work and appreciate their sacrifice and risk, not just today, but each and every day.
