Emergency Management Coordinator

On March 4, 2019 Wayne Brion was appointed to serve the Township as Emergency Management Coordinator. The Township has an Emergency Operations Plan that basically outlines the steps that would be implemented in the event of a disaster or emergency in the township. Mr. Brion regularly attends the meetings held by the Emergency Management Agency which continually updates him on the latest information available and exchange of ideas from other municipalities on what to do in case of an emergency.

Fire Companies

Colerain Township is serviced by the Quarryville Fire Department and Bart Fire Department. Other departments could be called in as necessary by the County Radio.

School Resource Officer

The Solanco School District is comprised of students from Bart, Colerain, Drumore, East Drumore, Eden, Fulton, Little Britain, and Providence Townships, along with Quarryville Borough. The School District contacted the Quarryville Police in 2016 to discuss the possibility of having an Officer assigned as a School Resource Officer, or SRO. Nearly every district in the County has an SRO assigned to the schools: some have had SRO's for 15 years.

In addition to the Officer's regular training, the SRO must attend specialized and on-going training specific to the duties and functions of an SRO. The Quarryville Officer assigned , Chris Dilworth, has already started this advanced training.

The SRO is not a school disciplinarian. Disciplining students is a school responsibility. The SRO's function will be to ensure the safety of the students and staff in all of the schools in the Solanco School District. The SRO may speak to students in class regarding a variety of subjects to include, police and their role in society, criminal and vehicle laws, drug education, the criminal justice system, and more. The SRO will also investigate and take action when any crimes are reported on school property.

Not every Township listed has a school located within their boundaries, however, on occasion the Guidance Counselor or School Nurse may request that the SRO accompany them on a home visit to a student's home.

If you have any questions regarding the duties of the SRO you may contact Officer Chris Dilworth at 717-786-2151 (the Solanco High School Main number) or Quarryville Borough Police Chief Clark Bearinger at 717-786-3121 or you may email him at bearinca@police.co.lancaster.pa.us
