Philadelphia Police Inspector Jae Thomas

Stopped by to stand with our community partners in the aftermath of a tragic homicide. In moments like this, presence matters—and so does partnership.

Grateful to connect with organizations on the ground doing the real work every day:
• Father’s Day Rallying Committee
• EMIR (Every Murder Is Real)
• P3 (Pushing Progress Philly)
• Men Who Care of Germantown

Each group was out there providing resources, support, and a message that our community will not be defined by violence.

This is what it looks like when a community comes together—healing, supporting, and pushing forward. We will continue to stand alongside our partners to bring resources, accountability, and hope to every block we serve.

Honored to join in this week’s Asian New Year celebration, marking the Year of the Horse.

Alongside my colleagues from Police and Fire, we were graciously invited to Chinatown to break bread with members of the Asian community and celebrate this special occasion together.

Moments like these strengthen the relationships that matter most—building trust, understanding, and unity across our city. Wishing everyone a prosperous, healthy, and successful New Year.
