LPPD saddened by passing of reserve police captain

The La Porte Police Department is saddened to announce the passing of Reserve Police Captain John Bello.

Captain Bello was sworn in as a reserve officer on 02/13/1996 and continued as an active member until his death 01/10/2022. A few words to describe Reserve Captain Bello include professional, dedicated, compassionate, caring and a friend to all and the officers he served with. We all will miss him and will never forget his selfless service to the City of La Porte and the LaPorte Police Department. Rest in peace, John. Your brothers and sisters in law enforcement have it from here.
