RECOGNIZING PENNRIDGE REGIONAL POLICE CHIEF ROD BLAKE (RETIRING AFTER
OVER 30 YEARS OF SERVICE)
______
HON. BRIAN K. FITZPATRICK
of pennsylvania
in the house of representatives
Monday, April 12, 2021
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinguished career of Police Chief Rod Blake. As a graduate of Souderton High School, Chief Blake started his law enforcement career as an officer in West Rockhill Township. In 1992, West Rockhill merged with East Rockhill and Sellersville Borough to form the Pennridge Regional Police Department. During his time with the Pennridge Regional PD, Chief Blake served in a variety of positions, spanning from Field Training Officer, Firearms Instructor, Sergeant, and eventually, the Chief of Police. At the time of this retirement, Chief Blake was the longest-tenured officer at the station.
Chief Rod Blake has had a lasting impact on every employee at Pennridge Regional, where he has been involved in the hiring process of everyone who comes through those doors. His mission was to serve and protect the community, and I cannot think of someone who embodied this ethos more than Chief Blake. As someone who said that they cannot see themselves working for another department, we are extremely grateful that Chief Blake has served for over 30 years in our community.
