Title: Platoon Commander (B)
Sgt Bryan Kauffman entered police work after leaving the family-owned
contracting business in Juniata County. He joined our department in May
1991, and attended the 50th Municipal Police Academy class at HACC soon
thereafter.
Sgt Kauffman worked his way up through various duties and assignments.
He started in patrol, became a traffic safety officer for 2 years, and then
joined the K9 unit.. Many will remember his last dog, Duke, who besides
being the incessant barker, served Sgt Kauffman well for 6 years.
Patrolman Kauffman was promoted Sergeant in 1998, a rank he holds today as the
commander of B platoon.
He is also a graduate of HACC with an AA degree, and attended Shippensburg
University. He served on the Dauphin County DUI Task Force, and is a
certified Glock Armorer. He attended the Police Executive Development
course at Penn State University in 1999, and is certified in various patrol and
management disciplines.
Sgt Kauffman has received a plethora of awards to include the Award of Merit,
the Drew Comrey Order of Honor medal, Governor's Highway Safety Award (1997),
and the Dauphin County Chief's of Police Career Service Award (2005), among
others.
One notable fact about Sgt Kauffman is that besides his many duties here, he
still manages to work as a real dairy/cattle farmer outside of this
job.
