Porter County Sheriff’s Officer Christopher Vanderpool lost his one-and-a-half year battle with acute myeloid leukemia last weekend. Funeral services are Friday for the law enforcement veteran known for his passion for his family, public service, the great outdoors, and a good Chevy.
Following the turbulent year of 2020, local police gathered to reflect on an officer lost to the pandemic and to honor those who have saved lives and served their communities.
