New Officer Joins Warrington Township Police Department

WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — The Warrington Township Police Department on Tuesday night swore in its newest officer, Seamus Radke. District Justice Stacy Wertman administered the oath during the board of supervisors meeting.

Officer Radtke has been a Northeast Philadelphia resident most of his life and now lives in Bucks County. He graduated from Father Judge High School, furthered his education at Chestnut Hill College and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. During his time in college he played basketball for four years.

Officer Radtke spent the past six years serving as a police officer in the City of Philadelphia, working in the 25th police district in North Philadelphia. He earned multiple commendations while serving with the Philadelphia Police for his exemplary dedication to duty, outstanding performance and tactical de-escalation.

Officer Radtke was brought into the patrol division as the department's 38th officer. He will fill a opening created by the reassignment of Officer Robert Bell as a School Resource Officer at Central Bucks High School South earlier this month.

"We are looking forward to having Officer Radtke join the team," said Chief Daniel Friel.
