For those on shift in the heat, we hope this is your only issue.

Sending our condolences to Central Berks Police, family, and friends of Officer Yeager. We stand with you.

Today, our department mourns the heartbreaking loss of Officer Kristen Yeager, who made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to a call for service on May 29, 2026.

Officer Yeager served our community with courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication. She answered the call to protect and serve each day, placing the safety of others above her own. Her commitment to her badge, her fellow officers, and the citizens she served will never be forgotten.

We ask that you keep Officer Yeager’s family, friends, and our entire law enforcement family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Officer Yeager. Your watch has ended, but your legacy of service and sacrifice will live on forever. We got it from here.

🖤💙 End of Watch: May 29, 2026

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, we MUST continue to take care of one another. It's imperative to our jobs and home life.

We will continue to fight the stigma and share resources.

We will stay another day.

While we celebrate each other this week, we are still honoring our mental health wellness.

We hope you are taking time for fellowship this week. It can be salve for the soul.

Be good to yourself.

Allow yourself the ice cream (hint hint).

Allow yourself two extra minutes in the break room for whatever they've provided.

You've earned it time and time again.
