“I have been working in the Chambersburg Police Department (CPD) for 3 years. CPD has a very supportive community and there are no regular working days. I love helping people. I also like police work for its dynamic nature; no two situations are exactly the same. We are trained to adapt to different circumstances and be able to adjust to many different situations while maintaining a clear mind.”
PTLM Signore
“I have worked for CPD since the summer of 2017. Prior to that, I had many encounters with every other police department in Franklin County through my prior employer. It was due to many positive encounters with CPD that I wanted to work here in the first place. In 2022, I left CPD for about a year due to a change in life circumstance, where I moved to a totally different part of the state. During that time, I once again dealt with many other police departments and was reminded of the high standard of service that CPD brings to the citizens of Chambersburg. In 2023, I moved back to this area. When I heard from Chief Camacho that CPD was interested in me coming back, I jumped at the opportunity. If you want to work for a police department that does things the right way, where you can truly make a difference in peoples’ lives, the Chambersburg Police Department is nonpareil.”
