On June 6, 2019 Officer Daniel Castellanos-Mendez was in a traumatic vehicle accident on his way to work. He has been hospitalized since the accident with severe injuries. Danny has been serving with the Columbia Borough Police Department since July of 2018. Being a Police Officer has been a dream of his since he was a child. Danny truly loves his job and serving the Community of Columbia. Danny’s mother has been by his side since the accident. Due to this she has unfortunately lost her job. Danny has a long road to recovery ahead of him and with the love and support from his family, friends, co-workers and members of the community he serves, he will get through this.Eventually get back to doing what he loves most….. being a police officer! We are graciously asking for donations to help assist Danny and his family at this time. No amount is to small and would be greatly appreciated.

We also are collecting greeting cards for him. We are hoping this will help show him the love and support that is behind him to get him through this. Please feel free to drop off or mail to the Columbia Borough Police Station:  308 Locust Street Columbia, PA 17512.
