West Chester Borough Police Chief Scott Bohn has been elected president of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association at a challenging time for law enforcement agencies and personnel, writes Bill Rettew for the Daily Local News.

“Our environments are constantly evolving,” Bohn said. “Police service requirements have expanded beyond our traditional law enforcement duty. We are working in partnership with our members and our law enforcement communities to enhance public safety and the quality of life in our communities.”
