SCRANTON – A Scranton police officer contends that, despite having an exemplary service record, he was passed over for numerous promotions in favor of younger officers, in violation of both federal and state law.
Scranton police officers started giving out vouchers for a free meal to some surprised drivers expecting a ticket.
The department kicked off its annual Undercover Secret Santa campaign with 212 vouchers for a free hamburger or cheeseburger from McDonaldâs and 54 vouchers for a free pizza from Fratelliâs Pizza & Pasta House. The police also are partnering with Wendyâs and Burger King.tncms-asset)f0b9d9c8-3e78-11eb-9693-00163ec2aa77[0](/tncms-asset)
Interim Police Chief Leonard Namiotka said the campaign, in its fourth year, is an opportunity to bring a little cheer. âIn the holiday spirit of giving, weâd like to give back to the community,â Namiotka said.
