MARS — Borough council and Mayor Gregg Hartung honored outgoing police officer Lt. Beau Sneddon at a council meeting Monday night.

Sneddon previously stepped away from being part-time officer-in-charge with the Mars Borough Police Department at the end of 2021 after the borough hired Mark Lint as a full-time officer-in-charge. Since then, Sneddon has been working as a part-time patrolman with Mars.

He has been with the department since 2010.

Hartung presented Sneddon with a plaque honoring his services with the borough, and the council celebrated with cake and snacks.
