As Veterans Day draws to a close, I’m thinking of Sgt. Shane Seiber. Shane served two tours in Iraq with the @usairforce before serving the people of Philadelphia. Please take a moment to remember Shane and watch this tribute by our own P/O Ian Nance.

On Veterans Day, I thank all who have served our country in uniform and the families who stood alongside them. To the veterans across @PhillyPolice , sworn and civilian, I’m proud to work with you as you continue to serve the people of Philadelphia!
West Philadelphia, let’s talk. Join me and my team on Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 6–8 p.m. at Mount Carmel Baptist Church, 5732 Race St., for Police & Community United for Action. Bring your questions, concerns and ideas. Let’s work together to make our neighborhoods safer!
Fifty years ago, these women broke barriers and helped change @PhillyPolice forever. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. Your courage opened doors for generations of women who followed. Proud to see you sharing your story!

Thank you to everyone for joining us at Simon Gratz High School in the @PPD39Dist for Police & Community United for Action. Great conversations, honest questions, and neighbors who care about their community. We appreciate your time, your ideas, and your partnership!
I’m so proud to see everyone here for the 2026 Run for Blue. Every step honors our fallen heroes and reminds their surviving families that they will always be part of our PPD family. We remember together. We stand together. Thank you, Philadelphia.

With a heavy heart, I share that @PPD19Dist P/O Shane Seiber has passed away from his injuries. We have lost a brave officer and a devoted husband & father. Please keep his family, our wounded officer and the entire PPD family in your prayers. We’ll stand beside his family always
Early this morning, two of our officers were shot in West Philadelphia. Please pray for them and their families. The suspect is in custody. To our officers and their families: we are with you, every step of the way.

School safety is a shared responsibility. I’m opening the Education to Action: Connected & Protected Summit on Oct. 8. Educators, law enforcement, mental health professionals and community partners must work together to prevent crises and help every child feel safe!
Today was a proud day for @PhillyPolice . We honored dozens of our members with the Department’s Merit Award - recognizing the initiative, perseverance and commitment they bring to this work. To each of you: thank you for showing up for our city and for one another!
Today marks 1,000 days of @PhillyMayor Cherelle L. Parker’s administration - and an opportunity to reflect on Philly's public-safety progress and the work ahead.
As of Sept. 25, YTD:
⬇️ Homicides: 21.3%
⬇️ Shooting victims: 28.7%
⬇️ Property crime: 8.5%
⬇️ Violent crime: 3.4%
Having a great time at the 71st Annual Hero Thrill Show! Our @PhillyPolice and @PhillyFireDept members are putting on an incredible show...but the true purpose is supporting college scholarships for the children of our fallen heroes. A great Philly tradition! #HeroThrillShow
We will always remember the lives taken, the heroes who answered the call, and all those who still carry the pain of September 11, 2001. We will never forget.
Every interaction between an officer and a member of the public is an opportunity to build trust, and sometimes something as simple as recognizing that a person communicates differently can make all the difference!
We’re delighted to officially launch the Philadelphia Police Department’s Blue Envelope Program today!
The program is designed to help make interactions between police and neurodivergent individuals safer, easier and more effective.

It was an honor to join the @PPD12Dist community for the unveiling of the street sign honoring Officer Joe Young - a man who dedicated his career to serving and strengthening the community he loved...
...Thank you @PHLCouncilPres for supporting this fitting tribute, and to Officer Mitchell, Captain Johnson and everyone who helped make it possible!

We can't do this work alone. Safer neighborhoods are built when residents, community leaders, faith leaders, and police work together. It was an honor to recognize some of those partners this week. Thank you for helping make Philadelphia safer! fox29.com/news/philadelphia-…�
