On Saturday, September 23rd there were a number of positive activities taking place in the area in which the Munster Police Department participated. The annual Victory for Veterans Ride also took place.
CHARITY SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT - A number of our police officers participated in the Lynwood First Responder Association’s 6th Annual Charity Softball Tournament in Dyer’s Central Park. The event benefited Protecting K-9 Heroes which provides vests and other safety equipment to area K-9 units.
MUNSTER K-9 FUNDRAISER - Chief Steve Scheckel and the four members of our K-9 Unit participated in a fundraiser in the parking lot of True BBQ which was generously organized with the help of Indiana State Representative Mike Andrade. Additional sponsors included Parlor Doughnuts, Don Jesus & Family, Top Tier Nutrition, and Buttermilk Pancake House. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to support our K-9 Unit. $2,700 was raised!
KINDNESS ROCK GARDEN OPENING CEREMONY - The Munster Police and Fire Departments were honored to be a part of Moms of Munster Indiana’s (MOMI) annual Open House & Kindness Rock Garden Opening Ceremony at West Lakes Park. In addition to displaying their emergency vehicles, our first responders were also able to decorate their own rocks to add to the new garden! Great job to MOMI for putting together this positive beautification project for the community.
