Our police department recently received the sad news that Munster resident Leonard Walavich, 71, had passed away on November 4th.

Len was one of the first members of our police department’s Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) Program and also served as a volunteer Neighborhood Crime Watch Captain for 10 years.

In addition to these programs, Len volunteered his time for the Cancer Resource Centre, American Legion Post 16, the Munster Lions Club, and many other community programs and was a decorated Vietnam veteran.

On Wednesday, November 10th, a group of Munster Police officers including Chief Steve Scheckel volunteered to stand in front of Jewel Osco to ring the bell and collect donations for the Salvation Army. These funds will be used to assist families in need during the holiday season.
