Carroll Valley Police Officer Receives Commendation
3/25/2010 | dave
Detective Clifford J. Weikert of the Carroll
Valley Borough Police Department was dispatched on January 8, 2010 to
respond to a report of two individuals attempting to break into
vehicles in the J-Section. He arrived in the area within a short
period of time
and was able to locate one of the suspects on Sunshine Trail and a foot
pursuit
ensued. Detective Weikert called for assistance as he headed into the
woods
after the suspect.
For the next two and a half
hours in a snow storm, Detective Weikert pursued the suspect. The foot chase traveled northeast around the
Fairfield Schools and through the woods and fields east of Fairfield. The
chase continued to the Fairfield Quarry and then back into town. The additional police
units were able to converge on the front of the chase at 4350 Fairfield Road. Tracks lead to an
upstairs apartment, where police forced entry and found the suspect trying to
dispose of his wet clothes. He was taken into custody without further incident.
The police were able to identify the second subject and he was apprehended that
morning hiding nearby. Police identified 21 vehicles the suspects had tried to
enter that morning.
Detective Clifford J. Weikert was awarded a Class I Commendation for his quick response to the scene
and his tireless two and half hour pursuit in a snow storm that resulted in the
arrest of both suspects and the recovery of more than $2,000 in stolen property
taken from numerous homes in J and K sections and in Fairfield Borough over a
10 day period. The distinctive accomplishment
of Detective Clifford J. Weikert reflects great credit upon himself, the
Carroll Valley Police Department, and the Borough of Carroll Valley. Well Done!
Welcome to Carroll Valley

Welcome to the Borough of Carroll Valley.
One of my primary duties as mayor is the supervision of the Police Department. This is probably one of the most important
departments in our Borough because its primary function is protecting the lives
of our residents. Also as mayor, I have the opportunity and pleasure to
formally recognize individuals for the outstanding work they have performed
that has made Carroll
Valley a vibrant
community for residents and visitors alike. I try as much as possible to
involve myself in borough activities through my membership on the July 4th
Planning Group, Planning Commission, Fairfield Regional Emergency Management
Agency, Finance Committee and the Public Safety Committee.
How do I communicate with our residents? Each month I provide
a “Mayor’s Report” to council. These
council meetings are video taped and can be seen on this website. I also have a column in the Emmitsburg Journal
called “From the Desk of Mayor Ron”. On an informal basis, you will probably see
me shaking hands, taking pictures and giving my opinion of why the Steelers didn’t
make it to the Super Bowl this year… as if I really knew what I was talking
about.
If I can be of any help to you, please contact me at mayor@carrollvalley.org or call me at
the office at (717) 642-8269 Ext 32. I am here to serve you.
Ron lives on Skyline Trail with his wife of 45 years, Pat and their two companions, Skye a 142 pound German Shepard and Miss Kitty,
a rescued kitty cat. He has two grown children, Lisa and Scott and two granddaughters, Angel and Catarina.
Ron was sworn-in as Mayor in January 2010 serving his second 4 year term. He is Chairman of the Public Safety Committee, a member of
the Planning Commission, the Finance Committee and the July 4th Planning Group. He is Chairman of the Fairfield Regional Emergency
Management Agency (FREMA), President of the Adams County Boroughs Association and President of ACTV (Channel 19) Board of Directors.
He serves as Pennsylvania State Mayor Association’s Vice President of the South Central Region. He is also the editor of the PSMA
Quarterly Newsletter. Ron also is a member of the Adams County Radio Group and past President of the Carroll Valley Citizens Association.
He is President of HAI that provides project management, configuration management, quality assurance consulting services to private
and government entities. He is a professional photographer and videographer.
Ron was born and raised in East Harlem, New York City. Received a Bachelor of Science degree from Pratt Institute and a Masters of
Science degree from the University of Missouri. He retired from the United States Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel. Ron also teaches
computer courses at Howard Community College in Columbia, MD and Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC) in Gettysburg, PA.
