PHILADELPHIA — In a gesture of gratitude to local law enforcement, the $600 million American Heritage Federal Credit Union has donated $5,000 to a suburban police department for the purchase of Taser guns.

Bruce R. Foulke, president/CEO of American Heritage, said the purchase was a way of showing "we're good neighbors and to thank the Upper Merion Police Department for a great job in the way they handled a very serious robbery at one of our branches."

Foulke praised the agency for its professionalism "by keeping us informed all along the way in what was occurring" in a robbery and bomb threat last April at American Heritage's King of Prussia branch.
