He was preparing to receive his master's degree in computer science in December. I have been in regular contact with Valparaiso University President Jose Padilla and have offered City assistance, as needed. I have also been working with Sen. Todd Youngโ€™s office to secure emergency visas so that Varunโ€™s family can travel to the United States and be with him. The Valparaiso Police Department is working with the Porter County Prosecutorโ€™s office to move the matter forward. Although there is much about this senseless act that we do not know, one thing is clear โ€“ a young man looking to better his education in our community now clings for his life. At this time, I would ask all of Valparaiso to keep Varun and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

We congratulate the Valparaiso Police Department for successfully completing their 2023 assessment by the Commission of Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The VPD is on track for receiving its fifth award of accreditation in 2024 and is one of just 14 departments in Indiana and 105 nationwide to earn this gold standard for municipal policing accreditation. The Valparaiso community is certainly safer due to the VPDโ€™s excellence, said Mayor Murphy. "As a department, we work well together and appreciate the support of an administration that makes public safety a top priority,โ€ said Valparaiso Police Chief Andrew McIntyre.

While infrastructure is being improved downtown, the bricks removed from Valparaiso Street are being carefully restored for replacement at the end of the project. Our thanks to Christine Hough at the Porter County Public Library System for helping us to uncover the history of these bricks -- brought to Valparaiso in 1908.

Just a reminder that there is a one-day delay in trash/recycling pick up this week and next due to the holidays.
As part of the development along John Howell Drive, a new connection to LaPorte Avenue has been constructed by the developers of Panda Express. Called Express Way, the new roadway is a one-way, exit-only road to help improve circulation of the Laporte Center Subdivision, which includes Panda Express and Family Express. The new roadway opens on December 27, weather permitting. While John Howell can still be still used to exit the subdivision, using Express Way eliminates the need to turn back toward the Silhavy/Laporte Roundabout. The new roadway provides the opportunity to access the Silhavy/Laporte Roundabout to provide more destination opportunities.
With the extreme cold (and snow) plus holiday closures, we are sharing emergency options for those seeking shelter. Each location states that no alcohol, illegal drugs, weapons or smoking are allowed in the buildings.
