Plymouth Township police report: 148 offenses in May, mutual aid to Philadelphia, and tribute to fallen officer Kristen Yeager

Plymouth Township police presented their monthly report to the board, reporting 148 Part I and Part II offenses for May and 106 total arrests. Lieutenant Wagner said the department has been "clearing crimes out pretty efficiently" and summarized recent arrests, investigations and social‑service contacts.

The department also outlined community events and mutual‑aid commitments. Officers ran a 75th‑anniversary open house on May 17 organized by Community Policing Officer Wittenberger and Lieutenant Kopstick, and staffed a Plymouth Township Day stand where they distributed bicycle helmets and toys. The township will provide reimbursable mutual aid to the Philadelphia Police Department for upcoming events including the FIFA World Cup and Major League Baseball All‑Star activities; motor unit members and the MERP team will assist.

Wagner described Plymouth’s reputation for deployment work, noting the department has been selected for details at large events. The meeting included an explanation that MURT (major incident/response team) is a countywide crowd‑control response with selective invitations for participating units.

The board also paused to note the death of Officer Kristen Yeager of the Central Berks Regional Police Department, reported in the briefing as having been killed in the line of duty on May 29, 2026. Plymouth Township officers attended Yeager’s services on June 9 and the department offered condolences to her family and colleagues.

The meeting closed after the board confirmed there were no public speakers in attendance and approved a motion to adjourn.
