Springfield Township Police Department

The Springfield Township Police Department offers heartfelt condolences to the Central Berks Regional Police Department in light of their recent loss.

We stand in solidarity with the officer’s family, friends, and fellow officers during this challenging time. May Officer Yeager rest in peace.

Today, our department mourns the heartbreaking loss of Officer Kristen Yeager, who made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to a call for service on May 29, 2026.

Officer Yeager served our community with courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication. She answered the call to protect and serve each day, placing the safety of others above her own. Her commitment to her badge, her fellow officers, and the citizens she served will never be forgotten.

We ask that you keep Officer Yeager’s family, friends, and our entire law enforcement family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Officer Yeager. Your watch has ended, but your legacy of service and sacrifice will live on forever. We got it from here.

There is no better way to celebrate Memorial Day than by attending this year’s Memorial Day Parade in Wyndmoor, hosted by the Arthur V. Savage Post 100. The parade features armed service veterans, Springfield’s three volunteer fire companies, Girl/Boy Scouts, musicians, vehicle displays, and much more!

Following the parade, the Community Day event will take place from 12 PM to 3 PM at Veterans Park. The event features many free attractions, live music, and food to enjoy. Don’t miss out on the fun! 🇱🇷🎵🌭🦅

Check the map below to see where you can view the parade!

With the warmer weather here, we’re seeing more residents out enjoying e-bikes and electric scooters throughout the community. As these devices continue to grow in popularity, the Springfield Township Police Department would like to remind everyone of Pennsylvania laws regarding their operation.

Please take a moment to review the information in the flyer below and ride responsibly. Parents and guardians are also encouraged to speak with their children about these laws, safe riding practices, and where these devices can legally be operated. A quick conversation can help prevent accidents, injuries, and unsafe situations.

Remember:
• E-bikes must meet Pennsylvania requirements to be operated legally
• Operators must be at least 16 years old
• Electric scooters are not permitted on public roadways, sidewalks, or other public property and may only be used on private property with permission
