Phoennik Ryan Eggleston Dear Residents of South Fayette Township: The South Fayette Township Police Department, along with Township Manager Ryan Eggleston and the Township Board of Commissioners, believe strongly in offering community-oriented policing and providing the best possible service to our residents, businesses and visitors. As the Chief of Police, I always look for ways our department can better serve our citizens. We hope this Community Outreach Publication will help fulfill our duties and our mission. This booklet offers information about protecting yourself, your property, and your home or business. You will find facts on identity theft, senior citizen safety, fire prevention and other important topics. And you can familiarize yourself with our police department’s many outreach and safety programs, such as Project Life- saver, Child Bicycle Education, Coffee with the Chief, and our Online Anonymous Crime Tip Line. As our mission statement notes, the police department “constitutes an organization whose very existence is justified solely on the basis of community service.” My officers and I fully believe in serving the people and defending the rights that are guaranteed to all citizens under our structure of government. We are committed to your safety and protection, but like all law enforcement we cannot be everywhere in the 21-square-mile township at all times to prevent or respond to a crime. We rely on our residents to be partners in achieving our township safety goals by being the eyes and ears of the community and calling 9-1-1 whenever an issue arises. Together, we can be a true force in keeping South Fayette Township a safe and neighborly community. Sincerely, John R.
