The goal of this fundraiser is to support Trooper Andrew Zaborowski and his Fiancé, through extreme financial hardship as a result of his unjust and wrongful termination with the Pennsylvania State Police on May 10, 2024. 

As you can imagine, Andrew’s life has been completely turned upside down. His reputation has been tarnished. He will undoubtedly inherit a substantial financial burden from the termination.

The unfortunate reality is; the bills keep coming and there is a possibility of the necessity for legal counsel through his situation.  His fight to clear his name is a long road and rough path.  With your help and support, you can ensure Andrew makes it through this tough time in his life. 

From 2017-2022, Andrew proudly served in the United States Army within the 82nd Airborne.  He had completed 2 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

After serving his country, Andrew found an opportunity to keep serving his community, by joining the Pennsylvania State Police. Andrew was only employed with the State Police for 6 months before this unfortunate event unfolded. 

I’m asking for each and every one of you to find it in your hearts to come together to support Andrew through this difficult time in his life. A good man and a good Trooper’s life and reputation depends on it!

Referenced below is a statement released to the public by the Pennsylvania State Troopers Association (PSTA) president:

         “HARRISBURG, Pa. - Pennsylvania State Troopers Association (PSTA) President Stephen Polishan today condemned the decision by the Pennsylvania State Police to fire a trooper who conducted a March 2 Philadelphia traffic stop along Interstate 76:

This decision is reprehensible. This young trooper, on the job for only six months, deserved better from our department. The department's leadership should have fought against the attacks made about this young man's character. Instead, they abandoned him. We can only conclude this decision is in response to a politically charged atmosphere in Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania, which is making it increasingly difficult for law enforcement to carry out even their most basic duties.

Like countless other traffic stops, this incident should have ended with a traffic ticket or warning and the driver being sent on their way, but a driver in a second car with dark, blacked out windows pulled up directly behind the trooper's cruiser, in violation by stopping on a limited access highway. Blacked-out windows are illegal in Pennsylvania because they are potentially dangerous to law enforcement officers because they cannot see if a threat exists in an automobile.

The trooper, in the field on his own, now has his attention divided. He approached the second car with blacked-out windows, and the driver ignored orders to leave the scene. Following his training, the trooper arrested both individuals when they refused to cooperate and follow his orders.

The growing lack of respect for law enforcement, the rule of law, and the failure to understand when one's actions may lead to a member of law enforcement feeling threatened is becoming an epidemic that must end. This is at the expense of those who are putting it on the line every day.

Every member of the Pennsylvania State Police is required to recite our Call of Honor, which includes a line we all take very seriously: It is my duty to obey the law and to enforce it without any consideration of class, color, creed or condition. We live by these words. Today, our department sent a terrible message to all troopers that politics matter more than doing the right thing."
