During the public Board of Supervisors meeting on Monday, July 25, 2022, the Board of Supervisors recognized the service of longtime Public Safety Committee volunteer, Dr. Mitch Barrer, affectionately known as "Doc."
Police Chief J. Scott Bendig shared the following remarks:
"On behalf of myself, Chief Wiegman, and Public Works Director Reiff, it is my honor and privilege to present to the board this evening a recommendation to recognize the service and contributions of Dr. Mitch Barrer "Doc" as a member of the Township's Public Safety Committee.
Doc has served on our Public Safety Committee for 40 years, making recommendations and addressing matters related to the public safety of our residents. Doc was instrumental in helping the Montgomery Township Police Department become one of the first agencies in the Commonwealth to achieve accreditation in 2004, reviewing policies related to the medical treatment of those in police custody. One of his responsibilities as a member of the Public Safety Committee was to participate in the selection process of individuals for the appointment of police officers.
Today, Doc continues to serve our community as a Fire Police Officer with the Fire Department of Montgomery Township.
Doc, thank you for your contributions, you will be missed on the
third Wednesday of every month!"
