Upper Southampton Police Officer Receives Commendation

It's usually not a good scenario when you have a police officer coupled with flashing lights.  

That is unless you are talking about Christmas time at the Levittown home of Upper Southampton Police Officer Milt Warrell.

Over the past few years,  has raised more than $12,000 in contributions to the Bucks County Heroes Scholarship Fund. 

Warrell's fundraising efforts were acknowledged Tuesday evening at the Upper Southampton Board of Supervisors Meeting.

Bucks County's Director of Law Enforcement Training Harry McCann presented Warrell with a plaque and thanked him for his support of the fund.  

“What we do on a regular basis is to ask the law enforcement community, the fire community and the general population to support the hero’s scholarship as best they can,” said McCann. “Officer Warrell has really stepped up to the plate.”

The Bucks County Heroes Scholarship Fund was formed in 1990 to provide scholarships for the children of emergency services personnel who are killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. 

According to McCann, during the fund's existence more than $600,000 has been raised for scholarships for the children of fallen heroes across Bucks County.
