The South Bend Police Department is saddened to announce the passing of former South Bend Police Officer Phil Trent.

Trent served SBPD for 33 years in a variety of roles throughout our department, both in the patrol division and detective bureau.

During his career at the South Bend Police Department, Trent achieved the rank of Captain, which was when he held one of his most notable and recognizable roles as our department spokesman.

He appeared on TV and in local newspapers countless times, informing the public about various crimes and happenings within the SBPD.

Trent retired in 2021 as a day shift Lieutenant in the patrol division.

Trent's services are set for next weekend. You can read more about Phil Trent's life and his planned remembrances here: www.palmerfuneralhomes.com/obituary/Philip-Trent

So… about all those police cars at Target this morning… 👀

Thank you to the Ireland Road Target for hosting the annual Heroes and Helpers program, which allows us to do some holiday shopping with some local families.

After shopping, we did some wrapping and enjoyed treats with our new friends.

This year’s program benefited St. Margaret's House.

We look forward to this shopping trip every year! Thanks, Target! 🎁
