South Whitehall Police Conduct 'Operation January Slam'

South Whitehall Police targeted two areas looking for speeders on Jan. 24.

 

On Jan. 24 between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. South Whitehall Police conducted Operation January Slam, a traffic enforcement operation designed to target speeding vehicles in various locations throughout the municipality.

Officers used electronic spped timing equipment to target the 2700 block of Mauch Chunk Rd and the 4200 block of Broadway.

In all, 45 citations and ten written warnings were issued to motorists for speeding and other vehicle code violations.

Sgt. Mark Ruff said the other violations were mostly licensing issues.

bad example of an enforcement tool, local police are not allowed to use radar to identify speeders, only the PA State Police can do what the photo shows in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

I contacted LVHN several months ago about volunteering with my son (8 years old) at the AndersonRead More campus. I would stay with him at all times and supervise him. I was told that they do not accept children. I think its a shame that the hospital will not accept him a a volunteer. I am trying to teach him how to give back to his community . Apparently the hospital does not want our help. I think several patients, especially older ones, would like getting assistance from a young child.

Tom, LVHN does not have an Anderson Campus. I believe you are referring to St Luke's Health Network.Read More LVHN is not able to accept volunteers under the age of 16 years old. There are many mandated reasons that young children are not allowed to volunteer in a hospital setting. Volunteering is a wonderful thing to teach your children. There are organizations in the Leigh Valley who are willing to utilize families. Please visit the Volunteer Center of the Leigh Valley for other opportunities in your area. www.volunteerlv.org
