Delco Alert - May 31, 2020

Good evening, this is Mayor Barbarann Keffer with an important announcement. Due to recent events in our region and in consultation with the Upper Darby Police and Fire Departments, I am issuing a public safety curfew for our township. The curfew shall be imposed beginning Sunday, May 31st from 8:00 p.m. to 6 a.m. for all persons within Upper Darby Township and will continue until further notice. Residents may only leave their homes to work at essential businesses, to seek medical attention or to seek assistance from law enforcement. These steps are being taken out of an abundance of caution and concern for public safety and we appreciate your cooperation.

I grieve with the families of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor. I understand the need to make your voices heard. This afternoon, I was heartened to see Upper Darby residents come together for a peaceful protest and moment of silence on Lansdowne Ave. Thank you for representing Upper Darby at its finest. It is heartbreaking to see the destruction occurring in our region and around the country these last few days. I signed an emergency declaration instituting this public safety curfew to protect our residents and business owners. Let us not allow the actions of a few bad actors to distract us from the serious issues facing our nation.

This is Mayor Barbarann Keffer thanking the residents of Upper Darby Township for their cooperation.
