Part-Time Police Officer Joins Ranks In Yardley

YARDLEY, PA —The Yardley Borough Police Department has added another part-time police officer to its ranks.

Police Officer Daniel Winter II joined the department after being sworn in by Mayor Chris Harding at the Borough Council's July meeting. His badge was pinned by his mother Nicole Winter.

“We’re excited about having Officer Winter join our agency," Police Chief Joseph Kelly III told Patch. "He presents with a strong record of community policing and experience policing within Bucks County.”

The chief said that Winter previously served three years with the Penndel Police Department.

Winter attended Delaware County Community College Police Academy, the chief said.

Winter filled a vacant position created when one of the department's part-time officers left to join the Upper Makefield Police Department on a full-time basis.

Winter's hiring comes after the police department has experienced numerous changes among its part-time ranks over the past year.

In April, the borough hired part-time police officer James Routh.

In late February, the police department hired Lucas Murray to replace Heather Carnivale, who left in mid-October to take a full-time post with the Lower Southampton Township Police Department.

Last October, police officer Dakota B. Romberger was promoted to the full-time ranks. In September, Yardley hired Robert Gergal Jr. as a part-time police officer.
