The Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors on a unanimous voice vote approved Resolution 2024-28 recognizing the retirement of Officer William Polozato and invited him and his spouse forward for a formal presentation.
The board adopted the resolution after Supervisor (unnamed) moved its approval and the chair seconded. The chair read the resolution text, which the document lists as recognizing Polozato’s service (resolution text lists a start date of 11/12/2021 and a retirement date of 02/02/2024). The board then presented Polozato with a retirement badge and, consistent with department tradition, a handgun that the officer had carried on duty.
A police department representative summarized Polozato’s career highlights, saying he helped establish the township’s K-9 program in 2003 and served with two K-9 partners, “Ike” (2003–1999 per transcript text, noting the transcript includes inconsistent date formats) and “Petro” (2010–2016). The speaker also said Polozato ranked among the department’s top traffic and DUI enforcement officers each year of his career, cited a 2013 statewide DUI recognition and a 2021 department Officer of the Year award, and added, “Bill, you've had an incredible career. You and your contributions to the safety of the township are gonna be missed.”
The meeting record contains inconsistent date details: the oral remarks and the read resolution differ on the officer’s start date and stated total years of service. The resolution text as read at the meeting lists a start date of Nov. 12, 2021, and a retirement date of Feb. 2, 2024, while departmental remarks described a career beginning in 2001 and cited 22 years of service. The board did not resolve that discrepancy at the meeting.
The board offered Polozato congratulations and best wishes for his retirement. No further personnel or policy action followed from the recognition.
The board adjourned shortly after routine business concluded.
