Hampden Township Police Chief Steve Junkin went online to speak publicly against a respected township resident, Marcus Brown, who is currently employed as the Acting Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police. In his public statement, Chief Junkin said he would do, "Everything in my power to see that you don't wear the uniform of a PSP Trooper."


Chief Junkin's public statement makes clear that he is willing to put his passion for a uniform ahead of the personal well-being of a township resident.


The residents of Hampden Township need a police chief who supports the well-being of all residents first and foremost. His participation in the public railroading of a respected township resident undermines our trust in his ability to serve us all impartially. We call on the Township Commissioners to remove Chief Junkin from his leadership position and seek a chief who will bring to the job the professionalism that it requires.

As a child growing up in Hampden township, I remember a high quality of living and community leadership that treated people fairly with strong focus on family. I also played high school soccer with Marcus Brown. Quality person and true leader. For his entire esteemed career, Marcus has demonstrated a high standard of leadership and deserves to be honored for this commitment to public service, not disrepected.

Having graduated from Cumberland Valley and spending the first 30 years of my life in Hampden Township, I am appalled at the narrow mindedness directed towards one of our own Marcus Brown. Chief Junkin is an embarrassment to this proud community.

He should be relieved of all duties immediately . He's not fit to be in law enforcement.

With free speech comes responsibility and accountability. Once you have spoken, others have the right to judge if you are the right person for the job.
