Police, government, and faith community leaders join Delaware County's Criminal Justice Reform Task Force.

RADNOR TOWNSHIP — Three Radnor Township leaders are serving in specialized groups as part of Delaware County's Task Force on Criminal Justice Reform. The task force includes members of police departments throughout the county, state legislators and community activists. Radnor Township leaders come from police, government, and faith activist backgrounds.

Radnor Township Superintendent of Police Christopher B. Flanagan, Radnor Township Commissioner Moira Mulroney and Rev. Dr. Manuel "Bumper" Howard will serve in the 21st Century Policing task force group.

Delaware County Council and the Office of the District Attorney on June 16 announced the formation of a countywide Task Force on Criminal Justice Reform. Task Force Chairperson District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said this week, "We're all working together because we have a common goal: To let everyone in Delaware County know that black and brown lives matter, that LGBTQ lives matter." He added, "Everyone in our county deserves fair and equal justice."
