Keep your distance | but Celebrate Lancaster on June 2.

232% increase | The Lancaster County Coroner’s report for May reports 232 deaths in May 2020. None of them are identified as COVID-19 related.

It’s that time | and several county police departments are “advising” the citizens they serve that fireworks are illegal in their jurisdictions.

Interesting reading | It’s revealing to read the Municipal Briefs in LNP – Always Lancaster to see the number of county municipalities’ and jurisdictions’ meetings at which police departments are sharing their “continuum of force policies” and positions related to the George Lloyd murder on May 31.

Bravo!!! | One police department in the county is “using technology to provide accountability and transparency to the public we serve.”
