Officer Michael Eyer

Officer Michael Eyer began his law enforcement career with the Weatherly Borough Police Department in January of 2011 after successfully completing an internship with the department while attending the Lackawanna College Police Academy in Hazleton full time and graduating in December of 2010.  Prior to attending the Police Academy, Officer Eyer worked as an HVAC sheet metal apprentice out of high school and is also a volunteer firefighter for several municipalities.  Officer Eyer is, member of the PA Wildland Specialized Fire Crew and has been on several out of state wildfire emergencies in Utah, California, and Idaho.  He has gained years of experience in helping others and putting others needs before his own not just in the Commonwealth, but across the Nation.  In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family and dogs, playing golf, hunting, fishing, being outdoors and active.

Throughout his career he has completed countless hours of training aside from the yearly mandatory MPOETC updates, but he has been fortunate to experience some training courses that aren’t offered to many, such as Incident Response to Terroristic Bombings at New Mexico Tech, where he was able to see firsthand the damage of simple household items that are being used to create extremely dangerous weapons.  He has successfully completed trainings and obtained certifications in Traffic Patrol/Drug Interdiction, Raid Planning and Risk Management, Tactical Narcotics, Vehicle Search and Seizure, Sobriety Checkpoints, Clandestine Laboratory Awareness, Hazardous Materials, SFST, ARIDE, ALICE training, Active Shooter Training, PA vehicle inspections regulations, tactical communications and de-escalation.  Officer Eyer is also a member of Pennsylvania Narcotics Association (PNOA), Eastern States Vice Investigators Association (ESVIA), a member of the Carbon County Drug Task Force, and is the Departments Media Contact for press release information and social media contact.
