🎄 ‘‘Twas the night before Christmas 🎄

‘‘Twas the night before Christmas
At the ISP Bremen Post
All was quiet across
The Hoosier State most.

The Chargers, Durangos, and Mustangs sat ready
Along highways and lanes,
From cornfields to cities,
Through snow, sleet, and rain.

Campaign hats were hung
With care by the door,
For morning patrol
Would soon call once more.

The radios whispered,
Then settled down tight,
As troopers kept watch
Through the cold winter night.

When out in the roadway
There shimmered a glow,
Red, blue, and white lights
Reflected on snow.

Away to their cars
The troopers all flew,
Thinking “disabled motorist?”
Or something brand new.

The moon on US31,
So icy and bright,
Shine proud on the badges
That stand for what’s right.

When what should appear
On the shoulder out there,
But a sleigh with a light bar
And eight mighty reindeer.

With a steady old driver,
So calm and so quick,
They knew in a moment-
It had to be Saint Nick.

More swift than a pursuit
His reindeer they came,
And he called them with pride
As he called them by name:

“Now Service! Now Honor!
Now Courage and Care!
On Character! On Commitment!
On Fairness! On Fair!

He parked by the Post,
So quiet and neat,
With a sack full of thanks
For the troopers on beat.

He spoke of long nights
On Indiana roads,
Of crashes and closures
And heavy workloads.

Of helping stranded drivers
On cold winter eves,
And standing for safety
For all Hoosiers’ needs.

He filled up the stockings
With patches and cheer,
And left words of thanks
For another hard year.

Then tipping his hat
With a nod full of pride,
He climbed to his sleigh
And rose to the sky.

But they heard him exclaim,
As he drove out of sight,
“Stay safe, Indiana State Troopers-
And Merry Christmas to all tonight!”

When she asks you to walk her down the aisle in full dress blouse? You do it. Yes, our photographer and videographer Camryn got married yesterday. Congratulations to Cam and Joe on their special day! Dad is truly beyond happy for the both of you!

Not all heroes wear capes. This is awesome!

What happens when Troopers team up with superheroes? 💙🦸‍♂️🎄

Pure magic at the hospital! Yesterday, Troopers from the Fort Wayne Post and Officers from Fort Wayne PD, alongside superheroes had the incredible honor of handing out Christmas gifts to some amazingly strong kids at Parkview Regional Hospital. For a few moments smiles took over as heros (in capes and badges) spread holiday cheer.

Wishing these brave kids a joyful, hope-filled holiday season!💙

A huge shoutout to Mad Apple Crossfit, Priority Life Healthcare, and Parkview for making this happen. ISP Fort Wayne was happy to play a small part in the event.

Our department is rich in history and tradition. From its inception in 1933, thousands have graced it storied ranks. This class is special to me, as it was my father's graduating class. I have a photo on my wall of us in uniform hanging next to a photo of my graduating class. And now that I have a copy of this one? It will soon be hanging on my wall as well.

Wow! Just got a message with a camper who went to camp in 2011 regarding our last post. That was the 2nd year of my camp. And a big shout out to the camper from 1988, now retired from the job for reaching out. Keep spreading the word and help us find former campers who followed their dream into law enforcement! I am loving who I am hearing from!

Blaine.....I know you're out there and know where to find you. Do not make me hunt you down.

ATTENTION FORMER CAMPERS:

Do not ask why, but if you have attended this camp and have gone on to a job in some sort of law enforcement field? PLEASE send us a message. We need to hear from you. Sooner than later as I know there are quite a few of you out there. We have something in the works and need your help. Please share this and help us get the word out!

So I see we have a few more followers. Welcome to our little corner of the internet. It's been quiet here lately, but I've been a bit busy. Trying to get work stuff wrapped up for my 3 weeks off at the end of the year. Plus our photographer/videographer Camryn is getting married in less than two weeks. Chaos? Pfft. I laugh in the face of chaos. So bear with us. Let me get through the wedding, and we'll be back to our normal selves soon. I hope.
