Officer John "Teddy" Falnes is the newest addition to the Collegeville Borough Police Department.
Falnes started his career as a police officer with the City of Philadelphia in 2018. His love for the ocean intertwined with his calling for law enforcement allowing him to serve his country by joining the United States Coast Guard at the age of 18.
Officer Falnes is a qualified Coxswain on the RBS II and RBM, and holds police certifications in the military as a Boarding Team Member.
"So it will be no surprise to see him at the shore during the hot summer days, boarding a boat or two," said Collegeville Police in a press release.
After navigating life and a busy schedule he loves to spend time with his beautiful daughter and family.
Lastly, but extremely important to mention, Teddy bleeds green and is a diehard Eagles fan, so feel free to chant away during the season.
