According to officials, Officer Mark Titus began his work with the department back in early 2006 after graduating from the Pennsylvania State Police Academy. Titus has taken on many roles within the department since his hiring, including assignments with the DARE program, the Crisis Prevention Team (CIT), SWAT, and the Traffic Safety Unit. Titus also served as an acting sergeant from April 2011 to January 2012, and again from February 2016 to the present.
Titus, a married father of one, has an associate’s degree in criminal justice and recently attended the High Impact Supervision training offered by Penn State University: Justice and Safety Institute.
The official position of sergeant will raise Titus’ salary nearly $9,000 a year to $97,589.32. He will share duties of shift commander with Sgt. Montgomery Moore on Patrol Squad 2 and will report to Johnson.
