Not just welcome...
You are invited!
If you get up Pleasant Hall way, you are invited to stop in and visit awhile. We would be happy to show your daughter what this is really all about. I am sure that the same goes for any other department in this county...
And, if you haven't noticed, I hope you don't mind your forum title (located under your username). If you want it removed, I will do so, but it does fit you. LOL
Thank you again for your support.

It is the people like her that truly make what we do worth every effort. It also says to those that are out to give us a black eye, not everyone will respond in a negative manner. Thank you Ma'am for your kindness and understanding and while we hope you never need our assistance, we stand ready in the event you do. Thank you and god speed!!!

Hold your horses folks. There is more to this than what she had the media print. Was Greggie wrong, YES, but after talking to the Chief in Washington Township, there is more to the story.
All are welcome in the service, but be careful to whom you offer the welcome mat, they may take advantage of you.

Thanks guys, I found your site when I googled the story to find a link. Your responses are fantastic and I just might take you up on the offer for my daughter. Bigfoot, you are right there was WAYYYYY more to this story then what was printed, but what does that matter? Does it make what he did any better? Did Gregg happen to tell you about the SECOND time he ran into me? Maybe he forgot. He showed up on N Franklin st when Ihappened to have locked my keys in my car, my neighbor *unbeknownst* to her believed him when he said he was a fireman and had a lock out kit. This was AFTER his removal from friendship, yes AFTER, and he was still introducing himself as a friendship fireman, and yes I did call and speak to someone at the company. I explained that yes, I went back inside and watched him demand an i.d. after retrieving the keys and that I was in no way going to let him know at the time exactly WHOS car he was opening. Scary, yes, wrong again? ABSOLUTELY. I dont wish Greg Warne anything but good, I sincerely hope he gets his life straight and suceedes in his future, he is young enough for me to say that 'kids make mistakes' but dont you dare try to say that either myself or my children did anything that deserved to be terrified on a deserted stretch of road returning home from a carnival. Why was he not charged with impersonation? Because according to PA law, he didnt actually exit his vehicle and present himself to me as a police person and as citizins of PA we are supposed to know that we dont have to actually stop or even move over for just plain blue lights, being relatively new to PA I was not aware of this law BUT, I tell you now that even if today an emergency vehicle with plain blue lights needed to pass me to get somewhere to help someone else then I WOULD PULL ASIDE. I wont stop and roll down my window, but I would let them pass. So please dont judge me, and dont presume to act like you know some big secret that either me or the media left out because the plain truth is that it's not true and I would be happy to discuss it with anyone. To all of you tho, you really are the best of the best and I will be the first to stand up and loudly say it. ~Sandy

Well, my comments and invitation still stand.
I am sure that there is "the rest of the story" as the great Paul Harvey would say, but I've known Greg long enough to believe just about anything, no matter how absurd. And Sandy's intelligent comments leave me quite content to leave the welcome mat right where it is.
And, personally, I had heard about the 2nd incident and I would have been ready to beat his ass (not that it would have been the first time I had promised to do that).

PERSONALLY I THINK THIS INDIVIDUAL(GREGG) SHOULD BE BANNED FROM EVERY COMPANY IN THE AREA. IF HE DID SOMETHING THIS STUPID BEFORE HE WILL PROBABLY DO SOMETHING STUPID AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME VERY GOOD PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE FROM ONE COMPANY TO ANOTHER, FOR WHATEVER REASON, BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOME LIKE HIM DO IT AND CAUSE TROUBLE WHERE EVER HE GOES.
