It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of retired Anaheim Police Chief John Welter, who passed away peacefully yesterday morning at the age of 77 following health complications.

Chief Welter served as the 32nd Chief of Police for the Anaheim Police Department from 2004 to 2013. During his tenure, he led with vision and a deep commitment to the department and the City of Anaheim.

A lifelong motorcycle officer at heart, he became the first Anaheim Police Chief to regularly patrol on a police motorcycle, demonstrating that leadership meant serving alongside those he led.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻

The officer was driving westbound on Clay Road, and a civilian was vehicle heading north on Gessner Road when the two collided in the intersection, Sgt. Barrow told OnScene TV.

The officer appears to have had the green light, Barrow added. He did not say when the crash occurred.

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we share the news of Retired Captain Henry Elkin's passing. Captain Elkin was part of Harris County Precinct 3 family for more than a decade, making lifelong friendships along the way. Henry's passion for law enforcement was more than a duty, it was a calling. He shared his knowledge with the younger generation of deputies he supervised, many who credit him with guiding them to supervisory roles. We will miss our brother, his infectious smile, and fantastic fishing stories.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻
