I am actually shaking while typing this because the word came down that the investigation into Chief Horner is officially over and he is staying in his post. It is such a massive relief to know that all those names on this list helped tip the scales so he can …

Chief Horner Needs the support of the residents of Maidencreek Township, Ontelaunee Township and Leesport. Chief Horner has changed the Northern Berks Police department for the better. Chief Horner has made the department better in many ways. Some of those ways you will not be able to notice from the outside. I think what is probably the most noticeable to the residents is how incredible community relations has been since he took over. Chief Horner started the National Night Out for Northern Berks, which in 2 years has become a huge success. Chief Horner himself dressed up as McGruff the crime dog for the first day of school to greet the children. Look at social media how the officers out on patrol stop and interact in the community. I deal with over 100 different police departments and I would put Chief Horner up against any of the chiefs. Chief Horner does one thing a lot of others do not and that is he puts his heart in to his job and holds the officers to higher standards. Some people do not like this and Chief Horner is under investigation. Some call this a "witch hunt" and also say there are "personal vendettas involved". So please have all adults in your house sign this petition and show your support for Chief Horner so our police department does not suffer a major setback to where we have to wonder if we even have a police department. Please share this post and send to other residents that may not see this.

Thank you,

Five hundred people just put their names down and honestly I spent the whole morning just scrolling through the names because it is wild to see so many neighbors standing up for the Chief at once. It makes me think about those first few days when I was staring at the screen wondering if anyone was actually listening or if I was just shouting into the void about the mess with the investigation.

We are crawling toward that five hundred mark and I really think hitting it will force them to finally acknowledge how many of us actually care about keeping Chief Horner exactly where he is. I keep thinking about him out there in that dog suit for the kids and it just breaks my heart that he is dealing with this nonsense instead of doing his actual job. Please tell your neighbors because if we all just put this on our pages right now we will blow past that goal before the sun goes down.

We are crawling toward that first hundred names and I honestly cannot believe how many of you stepped up already when things started feeling really shaky. If the people in charge still think this is just a misunderstanding they need to see our list growing so please send this link to your neighbors right now because silence is exactly what they want.

I support chief Horner. When moving from Fleetwood to Blandon 1 1/2 years ago, one of the first things I noticed was the increase of police presence. I know my children are safer walking to and from their bus stop with Horner as chief.

The first time I met the cheif he was not in uniform and when I learned who is was after about 20 minutes of us chatting I was honestly shocked. He was the most down to earth policeman I have every had the pleasure of meeting! And I have known a lot over the years. How and why people find issues with this is just ridiculous.

This police department is great. They went out of their way to help me when I was locked out of my home. They helped me remove a groundhog out of my garage. They did not have to do either of these things but they chose to help me.

I worked with Brian years ago when I was a patrolman with Maidencreek-Ontelaunee Police. He was always ‘community first’ and learned a lot from him that helped me in my career. Stay strong Chief!

I have known Chief Horner since my daughter was in high school (2002). He was a great patrolman that looked put for the students and his community. He has been a great asset since he has become Chief by creating community awareness and being there when you need him. I support him and his entire staff.
