If you’re celebrating, do so responsibly and utilize the Voorhees-Evesham Safe Ride Program.

Last week we were honored to have a visit from Erin Lafferty, her brother Ryan and her parents Christen and Brad Lafferty. (Christen is the daughter of past Voorhees Mayor Gary Finger and his wife Lynn Finger)
Erin was diagnosed October 2016 with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) at the age of 3. 98% of children diagnosed with ALL go into remission after the first month of treatments, but Erin fell in the 2% who do not go into remission. This put Erin at a higher risk, meaning more intense chemo, but it didn’t change the protocol of length of time an ALL child receives treatment, which is 2.5 years (with hopefully minimal residual risk).
Erin and her family was chosen to be one of our 2016 Voorhees Police Holiday Fundraiser recipient families. We were set to deliver Christmas presents to Erin and her family on Christmas Eve, when we were told Erin was too sick and would sadly be spending Christmas in the hospital. So, we rescheduled for when Erin was home and feeling better, and we had a wonderful visit with Erin and her family a week later. Since then, Erin continued to battle, and she never lost her beautiful personality and smile. Even through her own battle, Erin always worried about doing things to bring smiles to other children at the hospital. In fact, one of her Christmas wishes in 2016 was to bring little Christmas trees to the other children at the hospital. So, with funds from the fundraiser, we purchased items to make this happen, as well as gifts for Erin to give out to other children battling cancer.
Through a long, and difficult fight, Erin continued to focus on others instead of herself and couldn’t understand some of her parent’s concerns along the way. Children look at Police Officers and Firefighters as heroes… Erin has no idea she is a hero as well!
Erin will be turning 6 in April, and has recently been told she is finally cancer free and in remission. Last week we celebrated Erin and her family and presented Erin with flowers (given out by each and every employee present), and four passes to Storybook Land. Erin will be able to enjoy her birthday, perhaps at Storybook Land, CANCER FREE with her family this Spring!

On behalf of Chief Louis Bordi and all of us at the Voorhees Police Department, we would like to congratulate Lieutenant Dennis Ober on his retirement from our Department effective March 1, 2019, after 25 years of service in law enforcement.
Enjoy retirement, Dennis, and do not be a stranger!
The Voorhees Police K-9 Unit was happy to meet some of our youngest fans of police dogs.
#PoliceK9 #CommunityPolicingThird Grade students at Signal Hill School had an opportunity to bring a story from their Journey’s Reading textbook to life! The story was about a Police Officer and his partner, Aero, a K-9 police dog. Three Voorhees Township Police K-9 officers visited the school after a 3rd Grade Teacher Mrs. Francolino asked our SRO Officer Bullock to arrange for the visit. Questions were asked and answered by the students. The Officers answered questions as well as explained their typical day. The children’s excitement was overwhelming. Real-life connections were made with this story." #FutureReadyNJ
