 		  Greetings, I am Cliff Karlsen, the newest officer hired by Penn Township Police Department. Even though I am the “newest” officer I am not new to police work. Prior to Penn Township I spent 30 years as an officer with the Harrisburg City Police.  In 1980 I started out as a foot patrol officer, when I retired in 2010 I was a Commander with 28 officers working for me and a budget in the millions of dollars.  I am a graduate of Northwestern University, University of North Florida, University of Tennessee, HACC and USMC tactical commanders’ course as well as many other “specialty” courses that deal with traffic accidents, DUI, speed detection and tactical operations.  One of my accident investigations while with the city was made into a TruTV/Forensics File documentary, “A Capital Case, the Tom Druce Story”.  I am married and live in Monroe Township, Cumberland County with my wife, Laura; I have two grown children and a grandson that is 6 years old and a granddaughter that is a year old.  I am looking forward to serving the people of Penn Township. My goal and desire is to make everyone feel safe in their homes, on the township roadways, and while they shop in beautiful Penn Township.
