    An “awards corner for exemplary service” on the behalf of the South Bend Police Department and the City of South Bend.

    The stories vary. The incidents are diverse. From daily business to deadly encounters, South Bend Police Department officers and civilians answer their call to serve and protect the citizens and neighborhoods of South Bend. Unsung heroes under the radar—more often than not—public safety professionals are sworn to fulfill their duties without expectations. No “hearts and flowers,” and many times a thankless job— most say that at the end of the day, their pride in “doing the right thing” is enough.

    Nonetheless, this feature is an opportunity to share the inspiring stories of those who dedicate themselves to going “above and beyond the call of duty” in many ways…from small acts of kindness to saving lives. It’s also a way to say thanks…Pass it on. Want to share an upbeat story of how our police department people helped you? Please email Public Information Officer Captain Phil Trent at ptrent@southbendin.gov with your story idea!

    We will present this as a periodical feature as awards are noted and commended.

If you have dealt with an officer (or officers) who you feel went above and beyond in their service to you, we would love to hear about it! Commending an officer for their efforts is easy and takes a moment of your time using our online form.
