Drew Freed is now another one of Lansdale’s finest.

The Abington native was sworn in Wednesday as an officer with Lansdale Borough Police.

Friends and family, and colleagues, packed the meeting room at borough hall to support the Christopher Dock Mennonite High School graduate.

Council President Matt West said Freed graduated Christopher Dock in 2003. He went on to attend Montgomery County Community College where he majored in Information Technology Management Information Systems.

“Officer Freed attended the Montgomery County Municipal Police Academy while working part time at Elm Terrace Gardens, here in Lansdale,” West said. “Upon graduating the police academy in 2010, Officer Freed continued to work at Elm Terrace while eagerly testing for various police jobs.”

Freed was hired by Macungie Borough Police in July 2011, serving as a part-time police officer.

In December 2011, he was tendered a conditional offer of employment for a full-time police officer position with Lansdale Police.

Freed resides in Skippack with his fiancée, Alicia. An August 2012 wedding is planned.
