What changed in Chester County

Veterans recognition and transition support
About 21,000 veterans live in Chester County, and roughly 200,000 service members nationwide transition to civilian life each year — with elevated suicide risk in that first year. Operation Green Light highlights county support for veterans during that transition.
What it means: Chester County veterans and their families, especially those recently separated from military service.

Carbon monoxide awareness and detector distribution
Carbon monoxide kills more than 400 Americans a year, and it's completely preventable with a working detector. The Carly Imbirowitz Foundation has donated hundreds of free CO detectors to Safe Kids Chester County, which distributes them with English- and Spanish-language materials at community events.
What it means: Every household in Chester County, especially families with children, who can receive free detectors and safety education.

What it means: County taxpayers benefit from the net savings; county 911 dispatch also gains a telecommunicator position.
