Summary
The county approved renewal of a contract with Penn State to provide four to six deputies for Penn State events, including football games and Blue-White weekend; the practice has been in place for 8–10 years and the contract term was adjusted for event timing.
County staff requested and the Board of Commissioners approved a contract renewal March 28 with Penn State University to provide four to six deputy officers for Penn State football games and other campus events.
