Michelle Kott is BPD's New Chief


Bethlehem Mayor Bob Donchez yesterday announced the appointment of Michelle Kott as Bethlehem's new police chief. She started as a patrol officer in 2004.

Chief Kott is a graduate of Marian High School (2000), DeSales University (B.S. Criminal Justice 2004), St. Joseph's University (M.S. Criminal Justice 2010) and California University of Pa. (Ph.D. Criminal Justice 2019).

She rose through the ranks in Bethlehem and was a CPT at the time of her appointment as Chief.

Her appointment must be approved by City Council. If that happens, she will be Bethlehem's first female chief.

  4. Very light on leadership & have to ask if this was a Neville Chsmberlain appease the left choice.

    It remains to be seen if she will stand her ground when our left wing city council reps push her to reduce police presence in our community in order to fund their favorite social service agency.

    Perhaps BLM can send some of their Billions of payoff dollars extorted from corporations to every community to fund those agencies.
