Greetings,

Please allow me to introduce myself to any of our new parents and students. My name is Eric Fisher and I am a sworn Police Officer for the East Cocalico Township Police Department. I have been employed with the ECT Police Department since October of 2005. Prior to working for the ECTPD, I spent several years as General Manager of a small mattress company with oversight on the sales floor. While working at the mattress company, I graduated in 2002 from Cairn University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies. Then in May of 2005 I graduated from the Montgomery County Municipal Police Academy. I joined ECTPD in October of 2005. Since my time as a Police Officer, I have enjoyed several roles within the department. I have been part of the: Lancaster County DUI task force, South Central Task Force Mobile Field Force, and Bike Patrol Unit. I am also a Field Training Officer and the Liaison Officer for the Youth Aid Panel. In January of 2019, I took on the responsibility of being the School Resource Officer for the Cocalico School District.

I cannot help if I don’t know what is going on. Please ask.

I look forward to the opportunity of interacting with students in any way that I can, as I focus on maintaining a safe learning environment for both students and staff. As we move forward into the school year. I am excited to assist you with any challenges that may arise, and to help educate students and staff on issues related to law enforcement and school safety.
