WINONA LAKE — Lucas Rhodes is the newest reserve officer for the Winona Lake Police Department.

At the Winona Lake Town Council meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 16, Town Attorney Adam Turner swore in Rhodes.

Rhodes is to serve for only a short time as he’s going into the U.S. Air Force. He will serve in the reserve role concurrently with being a part-time officer for the Pierceton Police Department.

Rhodes also shared some background on himself at the meeting.

“I’m pretty much born and raised here in Kosciusko County,” he said. “I’ve lived in Winona Lake since I entered fifth grade. I went to Jefferson (Elementary School) up the hill, walked there every single day, so I really appreciate what you guys do here.”
