Administration
Justin “J.D.” Hess started his career in the Borough of Hummelstown as a Police Officer in 1996. Serving with integrity and stamina, he held every rank within the Police Department. During his time with the Police Department, he fulfilled the role of Deputy Director with Hummelstown EMA and served as President of the Dauphin County Chiefs of Police Association, building relationships throughout Dauphin County and beyond. He served as the department’s Chief of Police for his last 5 years, advancing technology and efficiency. He regularly worked with all Borough staff, and it was not uncommon to see him on project sites, operating a plow truck, or running a skid loader. The exposure to special projects, emergency management, and his desire to continue serving residents of the Borough inspired goals post-retirement from the PD as an Assistant Borough Manager. J.D. brings a unique skill set; past Borough practices and experience, combined with exploring new ideas, technology, and methods to better serve our community with emphasis on fiscal responsibility and increased efficiency of operations.
