Today, we remember Officer Barry Shalin and honor his life, service, and sacrifice.

On October 9, 1989, Officer Shalin made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the Morton Grove community. While conducting a traffic stop, he was struck by an intoxicated driver.

Officer Shalin served the Morton Grove Police Department with dedication and distinction for 19 years. He was just 41 years old.

October 9 remains a solemn day for our department and our community—a time to reflect on Officer Shalin’s service and the sacrifices made by those who serve.

End of Watch: October 9, 1989
Officer Barry Shalin | Star #109

We will never forget.
