Chester City Help, Incident, and Resource Page

Chester City Help, Incident, and Resource Page Keeping Chester informed about what is going on in the neighborhood, one post at a time! They cover what the news doesn't.

Influenced by Birdeye View News and BEV2, the Chester CHIRP (formerly the Chester City Incident Blog) has been developed in order to keep the citizens of Chester informed of what is going on around them. From "what are those sirens about?" to "I found a dog, what do I do?" to "I need a job, can you help?", you can find all of the information right here in one place, just by clicking the Chester CH

IRP. Starting in March of 2017, founders Wydeen and Jayci decided that it was finally time to merge together and create the blog. With many citizens of the city depending on select individuals to keep them updated on the latest happenings in the city, the Chester CHIRP was created to keep everything in one compact place. They also noticed that citizens were coming to them more, instead of mainstream media, because of their commitment and connections with the city, and because of their ability to cover a story more effectively, more raw, and more unadulterated than the media due to those connections. While Wydeen has taken a bit of a step back, Jayci has taken on the full time responsibility of bringing you all of the information you are looking for. With the help of the citizens of Chester, they hope to bring you the most updated information on what is going on in the city. Please feel free to send a message (not post on the blog wall, as those posts sometimes get lost) with any questions, or if you notice any first responder/police activity. You can also call the CHIRPLine at ANY time - (267)636-0525. They will do their best to accommodate all questions and concerns in a timely manner. Expect pictures and first hand coverage from your founders, as well as picture credits from various other outlets. As of October 1st, 2020, the CCIB has been rebranded to be the Chester CHIRP! Or Chester City Help, Incident, and Resource Page, to reflect a much broader opportunity to get all the information you need in one place.

**DISCLAIMER - The Chester CHIRP work closely alongside, but are not an entity of or affiliated with, Chester City Government, the Chester Police Department, or the City of Chester Fire Department. If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911.

Tonight, we (myself and McHale’s Animal Advocacy Team) are delighted to share some exciting and inspiring news! There was a recent incident in Chester City requiring SWAT deployment. The individual was successfully taken into custody. But, as a result of this situation, two dogs were left outside the residence, appearing "vicious" and "aggressive" - terminology that commonly gets confused with "scared" and "unsure" to the untrained eye, and without any background information. From the very beginning of the ordeal, CPD and assisting agencies had made it clear multiple times that they wanted to do everything in their power to keep the dogs on the property out of harm's way and kept us on standby through the process. One dog was safely removed from the premises when the all clear was given, but a second dog was left behind. We do not have any further information on the whereabouts of the other dog, but he/she is presumed to be safe, per information given to us by CPD.

It was evident that she was experiencing extreme distress. These mislabeled and mishandled dogs are commonly euthanized, so we were already mentally preparing for the worst. However, upon arrival as requested by CPD, accompanied by officers, the dog greeted us warmly, jumping and hugging us. This moment was deeply emotional for us... it was clear that she recognized she was being saved.

Due to the nature of the situation, we were very limited as to the information we were permitted to give to any potential adopter or rescue, as the safety of the dog, the safety of the residence and surrounding homes, and the integrity of the investigation were at stake.
After hours and hours of sweat, tears, phone calls, vetting, and prayer... "Na'La" has found her new loving home, and we couldn't be happier for her ❤️

Praying for the young child that was just struck by a vehicle on W. 3rd Street!! The child was alert and conscious, and has been transported. The striking vehicle DID stop, thank God! This is the same stretch where we picked up Blick, and they really do haul ssa down that block (not saying speed is a factor here but I wouldn't be surprised)... please slow down for the sake of our babies!!

Good morning everybody! Maaaan I'll tell you, these last few days have been a doozy. Please stay safe out here. Today will be a bit more tolerable weather wise with clouds through out the day and temps in the mid 80's for the high, but still a high pollen day for those with allergies.

I admittedly have been struggling to stay up with some of the events that are going on in the city, but I'm trying to figure out a better system to keep everything straight. For those of you who are sending event flyers to my inbox, can you make sure to please send them the morning of the event? I think this will help out a lot... my memory is just about shot, hence another reason I ask you guys to text and not call so that I have something to refer back to.

Other than that, have a great day on purpose!
