Camp Hill's Hope named
Law Enforcement Officer of the Year

Camp Hill Police Sgt. Michael L. Hope has been named 2008 Law Enforcement Officer of the year by a professional security experts organization.

Sgt. Michael L. Hope, of the Camp Hill Police Department, has been named the 2008 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year by ASIS International, an organization of private industry security professionals. Hope will receive the honor this morning in Hershey when he speaks at ASIS' annual training workshop.

"We're very proud of him," said Hope's boss, Camp Hill Police Chief Gregory "Jan" Ammons. "He is a good investigator. We're glad to see this organization is honoring Mike."

Hope was nominated for the award by David Crozier, of Rite Aid, who cited Hope's role in solving a pair of major organized retail theft cases since 2007. Hope helped bust an operation that stole health and beauty aids from numerous stores and sold them on eBay. He also was involved in a case involving a man and a woman who traveled back and forth between Pennsylvania and Maryland over a six-month period stealing health and beauty products valued at over $30,000.

"Mike does a tremendous amount of work with our retailers. And he has the interest and dedication to follow crimes that extend beyond our jurisdictional boundaries, even into surrounding states," Ammons said.

A 21-year veteran, Hope serves as Camp Hill's lead investigator in charge of all major investigations. He was also honored last year by the U.S. Marshals Service after helping investigate a multi-jurisdictional bank robbery case.

The Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association introduced the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Program to the Commonwealth in July of 2001. Since then, of the more than 1,200 police departments and agencies throughout the Commonwealth, over 260 have enrolled. In February, 2008, the Camp Hill Borough Police Department became the 49^th agency in Pennsylvania to reach Accreditation Status.

The Accreditation Program is a progressive and time-proven way of helping police departments and agencies evaluate and improve their overall performance.  The cornerstone of this strategy is in the promulgation of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives.  Participating administrators then conduct a thorough analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet these objectives.  When these improved procedures are in place, a team of independent professionals is assigned to verify that all applicable standards have been successfully implemented.  The process culminates with a decision by an authoritative body that the department or agency is worthy of accreditation.

Special thanks go to Administrative Assistant Donna K. Hope and Police Officer Douglas S. Hockenberry who acted as Co-Accreditation Managers during the multi-year accreditation process.

Smooth Operator
We’re Tough On Aggressive Drivers!

The “Smooth Operator Program” is a program offered to police departments through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the North Central Highway Safety Network Center for Traffic Safety, and the South Central Pennsylvania Highway Safety Program. 

For participating police departments, the “Smooth Operator Program” offers additional funding to conduct enforcement activities, targeting “Aggressive Driving”, during specific time periods throughout the year on pre-determined sections of roadways.   

 In 2008 the Camp Hill Borough Police Department was invited to participate in the “Smooth Operator Program”.   In Camp Hill Borough, the “Smooth Operator Program” was conducted primarily on the Routes 11 & 15 Corridor during four (4) designated time periods (waves) during the year. 

In an overall effort to make our roadways safer for everyone, Camp Hill Police Officers working the “Smooth Operator Program” made a total of 667 Contacts / Stops resulting in 670 Traffic Citations / Arrests.
