LaPorte County Adult Probation and Pretrial Services

03/27/2026

After more than 30 years of dedicated service, we are honored to celebrate the retirement of Jami Ritter, who has been an invaluable part of LaPorte County Adult Probation since May 1994.

Throughout her career, Jami has gone above and beyond in her role as an administrative assistant. She has expertly managed budgets, coordinated travel plans for probation officers, maintained and updated department records, handled countless filings, and supported our team in their day-to-day responsibilities with professionalism and care.

But beyond her impressive work ethic and attention to detail, Jami has been so much more than a colleague—she has been a true friend to many. Her positive spirit, kindness, and uplifting attitude have left a lasting impact on our entire department.

Jami, you will be deeply missed, and your contributions will not be forgotten. We wish you all the best in this next chapter—you’ve certainly earned it!

Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement! 🎉

💔 Our Community is Hurting… We Want to Help 💛

The news lately has been heartbreaking, and we know so many families are struggling. At Waterford Inn II, we believe no child should go hungry.

Starting this week:
🥗 Families with EBT eat FREE from 3–5 PM Monday - Thursday on Chef Choice Meals
📄 Proof of EBT required

We’re opening our doors and our hearts—and we’re calling on other restaurants in the area to join us in supporting local families during these tough times. 💪

🙏 We kindly ask the community: please don’t abuse this. This is meant for families who truly need it. Together, we can make a real difference.

No strings, no judgment—just a warm meal and a reminder that you are cared for. Come in, take a seat, and let us show our community love in action. ❤️

– With love, The Waterford Inn II Family
