8 Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 21, 2001 New Chief (continued from page 1) He is also quick to point out that “keeping the peace requires the involvement of everyone in the community.” According to the FBI uniform crime reports for 1999-2001, while the crime rate has remained steady, more serious types of crime such .as personal assaults have increased slightly in the township. “The 2001 census numbers in- dicates that Dallas Twp. is the largest community in the Back Mountain,” said Chief Jolley. “There are over 8,000 residents. However, unlike most suburbs, the population swells during the daytime hours. The Dallas Area School District, College Misericor- dia and many large employers, ~ such as Offset and Common- wealth Telephone, cause a large influx of people into the commu- nity every day.” Chief Jolley appreciates that Penn Dot has addressed the vol- frustrations of drivers and pro- mote safety for everyone.” As a proud husband and father of two children, and the individ- ual responsible for the safety of the community, Chief Jolley is understandably concerned about our youth and the challenges they face. He supports President Bush's faith-based initiative, and he speaks with admiration for the Salvation Army and the good work they do ‘in the trenches.’ “They answer their phone even in the middle of the night,” he said, “and have often come by to help us with a stranded family or with children who need help.” ~~ “The people in the Back Moun- tain work hard to involve their children in the good things that are available such as church ac- tivities and scouting,” said ‘Chief Jolley. “Children remember who showed them kindness. We want to teach them how to recognize the good stuff in life. One of my goals for the future is to have our officers spend more time in the community and our schools so that the kids can see that they are real and they can all under- stand one another. They should- n't meet only when there is a con- flict situation. We hope to help kids be more aware of their sur- roundings and to ask their par- ents or us for help when they need it.” ] ; When asked about the merger of local police departments into regional police departments, Chief Jolley had this to say. “I'm open minded. We all want what best serves the interests of our community. It's under study right now and maybe it's a solution, maybe not. According to the state and the resource allocation ap- proach, it's the thing to do.

The news is overwhelming for them. I appreciate the local weekly pa- pers who write good news for and about our kids. I like to see where our kids are involved in food bank drives and science fairs. They get the recognition they need and positive reinforce- ment for their good deeds.” Chief Jolley would like to invite everyone to a testimonial and dinner for outgoing Chief Carl Miers on Fri., April 20 at 6 p.m. at the Irem Temple Country Club in Dallas.
