 Title:
Platoon Commander (A)
Sgt Brubaker joined the Susquehanna Township Police in 1991 as a patrol
officer. In 1994, he joined the newly formed Community Technical Services
unit, becoming one of the first bicycle officers at Susquehanna. He was
also tasked with setting up crime watch groups in various township
neighborhoods, a large undertaking for a new officer. He returned to the
Patrol Division after five years in Comm. Tech.
Aside from his patrol duties, Sgt Brubaker was utilized by the Criminal
Investigation (Detectives) unit as needed to alleviate their heavy caseload, and
to help with background investigations on police applicants.
In 2002, he was promoted to Corporal. He served as an assistant platoon
commander, and was given command of the newly formed "D" platoon
during a realignment of the Patrol Division. He was the first and only
Corporal to be given sole command of a platoon, a distinction not to be seen
again. In July 2006, he was promoted to Sergeant, and became the commander
of A platoon, where he serves today.
Sgt Brubaker attended HACC in the Criminal Justice program. He has
received numerous awards for his service, including the Governor's Highway
Safety Award (for traffic enforcement) and the Drew Comrey Order of Honor
Medal. He was also presented a plaque of appreciation by the U.S. Postal
Service for his public assistance during tax season at the main postal
distribution center in the township.
