The dedicated service of the Brentwood Borough Police Department has helped to preserve the high quality-of-life that our residents demand. Our municipality is preparing to add one more community-oriented individual to our squad. Through June 13th at 4PM, the Borough will accept applications from those who are committed to combating crime and helping others in times of need. Candidates for the position of entry level police officer must be 21 years of age, possess a high school diploma or equivalent, hold a valid driver's license, and have either earned Act 120 certification or be actively enrolled in a state-sanctioned police academy. Individuals who submit a completed application will be invited to participate in a physical agility and written knowledge test at the Allegheny County Police Academy on June 25th. In recognition of the sacrifices that candidates make to train for these positions, Brentwood Borough Council has elected to waive all testing fees.

Blood banks across the country are continuing to experience shortages. Unless these organizations maintain adequate quantities of this life-giving fluid, hospitals may be forced to forego or delay certain procedures for patients in need. Borough residents can help to mitigate this crisis by donating on May 24th. In exchange for supporting this noble cause, particpants will receive a voucher for free admission to Kennywood. The event will take place from 10AM to 3PM in the Brentwood Library Community Room.

Groundbreaking Ceremony Caps Years of Careful Planning, Moves Borough Toward Strong Future

For over a decade, Brentwood Borough officials grappled with a complex policy problem. The existing municipal building, which features a core that actually predates the founding of the community, was in an extremely deteriorated condition. However, renovations to the site or the relocation of operations would require a significant financial commitment. Successive councils carefully conducted their due diligence through an array of feasibility studies and cost analyses. This prudent review ultimately set the stage for a decision that will allow the Borough to reclaim an abandoned parcel while concurrently allowed the prime real estate that houses the current municipal building site to be opened to redevelopment. The transition of police and administrative operations to the former Snee Dairy took a major step forward on May 2^nd, as our elected officials formally broke ground on an aesthetically pleasing, single-story facility. The Borough is adhering to an expediated timeline, and our leaders are proud to report that the building is scheduled to open its doors in just over 14 months.
