Phoenixville, PA – The community mourns the unexpected passing of Officer Arthur “Art” Scena IV, a dedicated member of the Phoenixville Police Department, following a vehicular accident in Warminster Township, Bucks County. Arthur, affectionately known as Art, was born in Abington and raised in Elkins Park, PA. A graduate of Cheltenham High School, he furthered his studies at Montgomery County Community College before graduating from the Montgomery County Police Academy in 2010.
Art’s career in law enforcement was marked by a strong sense of duty and compassion. Before joining the Phoenixville Police Department in 2019, he served as a correctional officer for Montgomery County Prison and worked as a police officer for both the Philadelphia Housing Authority and the Chester City Police Department. Beyond his professional commitments, Art was an active member of the Bullet’s Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, where he often organized rides and benefits to support the families of fallen officers.
Arthur is survived by his beloved wife Amanda and his two daughters, Riley and Reese, who now face this profound loss alongside the close-knit Phoenixville community. The Phoenixville Police Department shared their sorrow, noting the heavy loss of one of their own. Many within the community expressed their condolences, reflecting on Art’s impact and character.
Sarah Biskup, a former colleague, shared, "He was a great great officer… such a great CO and a great person. I’m so so sorry for his family." Bradley Bechtel extended "sincerest condolences to your family, friends, and colleagues at Phoenixville Police," while Chuck Anderson remarked, "So very sorry for the loss of this great young man. He used to patrol the city I live in aside from that he was a fine gentleman."
A fundraiser organized by Michael Gray seeks to support Amanda, Riley, and Reese as they navigate this difficult time. Contributions will directly aid the family, honoring Art’s legacy and the selfless dedication he showed in both his professional and personal life. Donations can be made through the Officer Arthur "Art" Scena Memorial Fund or via the authorized GoFundMe link.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Arthur’s family, friends, and the entire Phoenixville Police Department as they cope with this tragedy. May his memory be a source of comfort, and his legacy continue to inspire all who knew him.
