This information she had received from her daughter that is ill and alone at home.

The Central Dispatch immediately sent several police patrols to investigate what was taken place. On the scene a male suspect with initials K.S.

Tools and other items used during this break-in was also found and confiscated for further investigation. The suspect was taken to the Philipsburg Police Station where he remains in custody.

In addition the police department wants to also improve the cooperation and communication by continuing to call in and share information with the police regarding any crime or criminal activity.

It is due to the great communication between the resident of this home and the CPO and the quick response of the police patrols that the suspect in this case was caught in the act and immediately arrested.


Additional classes show great results at traffic exam.

For the last three years additional classes in the traffic rules were given, upon request from that school, to students preparing for the yearly School Traffic Exams, by Seargent Rexcarlos Courtar of the Police Traffic Department. This year the Leonard Connor School took advantage of the opportunity to get additional free classes for its students. 17 of the 21 students from the Ruby Labega School passed this exam and 33 of the 41 students from the Leonard Connor School passed this exam successfully. The additional traffic classes definitely had a positive impact on the outcome of the 2017 School Traffic Exams. It is definitely the intention of the Police Department to continue to assist all schools upon request by giving extra classes in preparation for the exams.
