A message from Chief Sokoloski
My time has arrived for me to depart and start another chapter of my life. I wanted to tell everyone personally, I will be officially retiring from the Bloomsburg Police Department on Friday, June 28th.

In looking back, the time went by quickly. I made a decision a long time ago to remain here and work to make a difference in the town, the community, the police department and the university, I have no regrets. A great deal has been accomplished through your hard work and effort. We don't measure things that don't happened or have not happened but I genuinely believe there are reasons that we have maintained a foot hold in suppressing major problems that have plagued communities that surround us, everyone has contributed to this cause.

It has been my pleasure and privilege to work with each of you and work for the citizens of the town!

Leo V. Sokoloski, Chief of Police
