Columbia City Masonic Lodge #189 presented a charitable donation to Chief Gary Parrett and Deputy Chief Chris Anderson of the Columbia City Police yesterday. We are so grateful for their support. Thank you, WM Jacob Yagel and team, for choosing to be a part of the Whitley Camp HERO family!

⭐️Interesting note: you will notice this picture was taken at the Whitley County Sheriff's Department, even though the donation was received by Columbia City Police Department’s administration. Here’s what’s important about that: the secret ingredient of Camp HERO is collaboration!

It’s a community of police officers, firefighters, EMTs/paramedics, and homeland security professionals. The whole will always be greater than the sum of its parts.⭐️

🚨 Heads up, Whitley County! 🚨

Tomorrow morning, Saturday October 24, the Whitley County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and Parkview Health are teaming up for a training exercise at Parkview Whitley Hospital.

You may see more police, fire and EMS vehicles and personnel at the hospital. This is only an exercise. The LEPC holds one every year at sites around the county.

✅ Hospital services, treatment and patient safety will not be affected.

Thank you for your understanding as we train for a safer, more resilient Whitley County! 💪

We are entering the season when deer are moving, and unfortunately this means they often end up injured in the roadway. We are currently working on updating our contact list for when a deer is struck and would be good for a family to fill the freezer. If you would like to be added to the list, please call our dispatch center with your information. If you have already spoken to our dispatchers updating the current list, there is no need to call in. You can reach us at 260-244-6410 option 1.
