The Bushkill Township Police Department is proud to announce that two of our officers have recently completed the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) certification program. This specialized training equips officers with the skills to effectively and compassionately respond to individuals experiencing mental health crises.

With this accomplishment, our department now has a total of nine CIT-certified officers, reflecting our ongoing commitment to empathetic, responsive policing, and community well-being.

We are also honored to recognize Corporal John Zwally, who has been named CIT Officer of the Year by the Northampton County CIT Program. This prestigious award highlights Cpl. Zwally’s exceptional dedication to mental health awareness, de-escalation practices, and his leadership within the CIT community.

Please join us in congratulating all of our CIT-certified officers, especially Cpl. Zwally, for their outstanding service and leadership. Their efforts are making a real difference in the lives of those we serve. We are proud to have them as part of our team.
