York College of Pennsylvania joins the York County community in mourning the tragic loss of three detectives, including York College alumnus Detective Isaiah Emenheiser ’04, who was killed in the line of duty Wednesday in North Codorus Township. Detective Emenheiser earned his degree from York College and dedicated his career to protecting and serving others.
“Our hearts are broken at the loss of Detective Emenheiser, a proud member of the York College family whose dedication to justice and service reflected the very best of our graduates,” Dr. Thomas Burns, President of York College, said. “We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues, and we stand with all those grieving this profound loss.”
“The entire law enforcement community of York County is mourning the loss of Detective Emenheiser and the other officers of the Northern York County Regional Police Department who gave their lives to keep our community safe,” York College Police Chief Ed Bruder said. “Detective Emenheiser is the finest example of an alumnus who lived by our college motto ‘Servire, Est , Vivere,’ (to serve is to live).”
As we mourn Detective Emenheiser together, York College encourages any student who may be struggling with this news to seek support. Grief counseling is available through WellSpan Student Health at York College, and additional comfort and guidance are available through the College’s Spiritual Life resources.
York College continues to hold the families of all five officers in our thoughts as the community comes together to honor their service and sacrifice.
