Monaca Police Department

Congratulations to Officer Jeff McConnell for receiving the Howard Murray Award!!! He was given the award by Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible for the ARRESTS AND CONVICTIONS of 4 suspects in a robbery in Monaca. Keep up the good work!!!

As 2023 comes to a close, we’d like to acknowledge the Santa Cop program. The program was started 10 years ago by Officer James Ball for one of his step- daughter’s senior projects. Since 2013, the program has been a great success providing less fortunate families with presents and food for Christmas. This year we were able to provide presents to over 60 children in the Monaca area. This program could not be possible without the help of the residents and businesses within the community. We’d like to thank the following businesses for their charitable donations to the program. We’d also like to include all the generous residents and private civilians who also donated not only presents but monetary donations.

The businesses include: Budget Blinds, Tuma Lawn Care, Schmuck’s Shoes, ServPro, Dan’s Auto, Monaca Methodist Church, Valley Vintage Motorworks, BVSM, Fleet Services of America, Mesta Industrial Contracting, Comfortably Yum, Busy Boyz Landscaping, McCreary’s Budget Lawn Care, Herzogs, Monaca Bandroom, Humbert Heating, Legacy Enhancement, Providing Angels, BIL, Lions Club, A1 towing, Electric Garage Door, First Presbyterian Church, Nichol’s Market.

We’d like to send a special thank you to Froggy Radio for helping us collect not only presents but monetary donations and helping us to spread the word about our program to Monaca Residents who may need that extra help.

Also the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer who collected food and gift card donations for the nominated families for the program.

We had so many extra “elves” that helped us out this year with wrapping and distributing the gifts to our families so we’d like to send a special thank you for all your hard work.

Lastly, a special thank you to Officer Ball and Officer Dietz for all of their hard work that they put into this program year after year.

We wish all of the families and businesses of Monaca a Happy New Year!

CCBC FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES THE BEAVER VALLEY FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE SCHOLARSHIP FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE STUDIES

Monaca, PA – The CCBC Foundation announced a new scholarship endowed by the Beaver Valley Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). The scholarship will support students pursuing a career in the criminal justice field with the goal of increasing diversity in the workforce.

The Beaver Valley Fraternal Order of Police is the largest organization of law enforcement officers in Beaver County, consisting of members from over 30 law enforcement agencies. It is the fourth oldest lodge in the United States following the founding of the FOP by two Pittsburgh police officers in 1915. Today, over 100 years after the first meeting, the FOP consists of more than 2,100 lodges. The organization supports law enforcement officers through education, legislation, community involvement, and employee representation.

The endowment of $10,000 will offer financial support to minority and underrepresented students who are studying criminal justice. CCBC offers multiple criminal justice and public safety degree and training programs, including Criminal Justice, Police Technology, and the Police Academy.

Scholarships are awarded according to the following criteria:

Applicants must be a full-time student enrolled in for-credit courses at CCBC.

Applicants must have applied for financial aid.

Applicants must submit a completed scholarship application by the stated deadline to the Executive Director of the CCBC Foundation.

Established in 1974, the Police Training Academy at CCBC offers Act 120 training required to become a certified police officer in Pennsylvania as well as Act 180 Mandatory In-Service training for active-duty police officers. The Academy operates with the assistance of the Municipal Police Officers Education and Training Commission to provide physical and defensive tactics, fi****ms, and emergency vehicle operation training to cadets and current officers. Cadets who receive their Act 120 can also go on to receive an associate degree in Police Technology.

The Criminal Justice program prepares students for careers in a wide variety of fields including corrections, probations and parole, juvenile justice, substance abuse counseling, and paralegal studies. Coursework includes investigative techniques such as crime lab analysis, forensics, interrogation, and criminal law. An optional internship provides real-world experience while students continue earning credits toward their degree. CCBC awards two-year associate degrees in Criminal Justice, and the major is also Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center (TAOC) approved, meaning that graduates are prepared to transfer to a four-year college or university that offers a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice.

The criminal justice field includes a wide variety of careers at local, state, and federal levels. These important jobs require a diverse workforce that accurately represent the communities they serve to build trust, understand, and respond to their needs, and encourage faith in law enforcement and the government. The Beaver Valley Fraternal Order of Police Scholarship is a valuable addition to the opportunities available to CCBC students through the CCBC Foundation.
