VALPARAISO â For more than a decade, Valparaiso police Lt. John Patston has tried to bring compassion and thoughtfulness into his police work.Â
Before joining the ranks of the Valparaiso Police Department, Patston, 40, served in the U.S. Army, where he learned about camaraderie and how to adapt to stressful situations.Â
The 14th installment of "Riding Shotgun with NWI Cops" follows Patston, a shift commander, as he looks to keep his city safe, while leading fellow officers to do the same, and hoping he can impart not only wisdom, but his timeless sense of fashion, as he still sports an old-school tuffy while patrolling. Â
