Upon contact with the victim it was reported that a verbal altercation ensued between him and the defendant, ADAM PAUL GEORGE.

If you see Sergeant Terry Walter today, make sure to congratulate him as today at 1600hrs marks his last working day at the Logan Township Police Department!
Sgt. Walter started his career in October, 1983 where he served in the United States Marine Corp. acting as an Infantry Squad Leader. After retiring from the Marine Corp., Sgt Walter was hired as a Corrections Officer at the Blair County Prison in 1987. It was then evident that Sgt. Walter wanted a career in protecting those around him when he obtained his Police Certification through the IUP Police Academy in 1989. Sgt. Walter was hired by the Logan Township Police Department on March 9, 1992 which is where he would spend the next 30 years of his life devoting countless hours protecting the residents of Logan. In August, 1996 Logan Township restarted their K9 Program to which Sgt. Walter obtained two (2) working dogs throughout his career namely, Dakota & Sam. In 1997 Sgt. Walter organized the LTPD softball tournament to which he would continue with through 2007 with the help from many volunteers. Sgt. Walter was very proud of this event, helping raise over $50,000 in ten years to which it was donated to local charities such as CYS and the Miracle League, only to name a few. In August, 2008 the Logan Township Police Department promoted then PATROL OFFICER Terry Walter to Sergeant of the Patrol Division. This is where Sgt. Walter would finish out his career, supervising many new patrol officers and helping prepare them for the everyday duties of a Police Officer.
Thank you Terry, for your commitment to the Township, you will be missed! 504 BADGE 30 out of service.
