The Mount Carmel Police Department seeks to foster community involvement. We strive to create an environment where communication is better than notification. We have a passion for our community and passion always persuades people. We do our best to acknowledge good work. Either the work of our officers or the community to make Mount Carmel a better place to live.
We will use this page to highlight those good works by organizations or individuals who are engaged in making Mount Carmel the great community it is!
Officer Gilbert Santos was honored with a lifesaving award. Gilbert along with other officers, Mount Carmel Fire Department, and WGH personnel were dispatched to a residence with an unresponsive female. Officer Santos-Astorga understanding the severity of the situation started CPR. Gilbert continued CPR reviving the individual saving her life.
We appreciate all the goodies and food delivered to the Police Department. An extra big hug for a huge supporter, and community volunteer Sandy Keneipp.
No spotlight would be complete without a shout out to Wabash General Hospital WGH recently sponsored Coffee With A Cop. This gives the Officers and community a chance to interact. Pictured Detective Sergeant Mike McWilliams.
Thank you Wabash General Hospital for all you do for our department and the community.
