CHAMBERSBURG — Franklin County Sheriff Dane Anthony is urging Franklin County residents to do their part in helping fight crime in their communities.
“My office is committed to making our neighborhoods safer places to live,” said Anthony. “By doing so, we will improve the quality of life for individuals and families, both young and old. It is imperative that we seek progress to reduce the negative influences that crime has on our county.”
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office works diligently to make significant improvements throughout the county. Staff members frequently participate in a variety of professional training opportunities that cover a range of subjects, from courtroom security and deputy-involved shootings to weapons of mass destruction and methamphetamine lab awareness as well as other topics critical to providing quality law enforcement protection.
Franklin County residents can also impact the department’s work in their communities by joining the Pennsylvania Sheriffs’ Association’s Honorary Membership Program. The Pennsylvania Sheriffs’ Association helps support the state’s 67 county sheriffs departments with high-quality, statewide training and education.
