The Bristol Township Police Benevolent Association and the owner of Bristol Gardens recently awarded two Bucks County Community College criminal justice students with a scholarship.

Bristol Gardens’ owner Josh Klein matches the award every year in recognition of the police department’s service to the community.
The scholarship was launched in 2007 by the PBA.
Stuckey was killed not far from police headquarters on March 29, 1972 after he pulled over three men who had robbed a bank in Levittown. One of the three suspects shot and killed the seven-year veteran of the department.
