Bucks Co. Sheriff Fred Harran marks National Police Week 2025
DOYLESTOWN, PA (May 12, 2025) – Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran issued the following statement in recognition of National Police Week 2025:
“This week, across our county and our nation, we pause to observe National Police Week. It is a time of solemn remembrance for the courageous law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, protecting our neighborhoods. We also express our profound gratitude to every officer currently serving. Their dedication to duty, often under challenging circumstances, is the bedrock of our community’s safety.
The decision to enter law enforcement is a noble one, demanding immense bravery, dedication, and selflessness. Having dedicated my life to this profession for 39 years, I understand the profound commitment it requires. Every day, the men and women of the Bucks County Sheriff’s Office – as well as the 900+ police officers and nearly 40 agencies serving this county – answer the call to protect our residents, uphold the law, and maintain peace and order. They face complex and often dangerous situations with professionalism and unwavering commitment.
As Sheriff, I am proud to lead a team over 75 sworn deputies vital to the functioning of our justice system, ensuring security in our courthouses, serving warrants, and performing many other essential duties that contribute to the safety and well-being of our citizens. Not a day goes by that I am not inspired by their service and commitment.
This week – and every week – I ask all residents of Bucks County to join me in honoring the memory of fallen officers and expressing appreciation for the dedication of those who continue to serve. A simple word of thanks or a gesture of support can mean a great deal to these brave individuals and their families.
The Bucks County Sheriff’s Office stands united with law enforcement across the country in remembrance and renewed commitment to serving our communities with integrity and courage.”
