Administrative Professionals Day

On Administrative Professionals Day, Chief Kevin Reading would like to extend his sincere appreciation to Cara Parker, for her outstanding service and commitment to excellence.Since stepping into this role as the Chief’s secretary in 2024, Cara has consistently demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and the ability to manage the daily operations of the Chief’s Office. Cara’s positive attitude, organizational skills, and dedication behind the scenes do not go unnoticed. The Lawrence Township Police Department thanks Cara for all that she does and we are grateful for her continued hard work and look forward to her ongoing success with LTPD.

Continuing to Stay Safe

We are in our fourth week of the Put the Phone Away or Pay campaign and our officers continue to actively enforce distracted driving laws. Fines and penalties aren’t worth the risk—but more importantly, neither is a life.

Stay focused. Stay alive.

Silence notifications or use “Do Not Disturb” while driving.

Keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
