Barbecue raises money for injured GFPD detective

Posted

Great Falls came together on Monday to help one of their police officers after he was injured.

Great Falls Police Detective Art Schalin came down with a sudden and serious illness and two community members decided to host a fundraiser for him.

People enjoyed food while catching up with Schalin at a barbecue at the Great Falls Police Department.

Schalin’s wife Kari said the event was a great “get well” card from the community to her husband.

Schalin is a 28-year veteran of the Great Falls Police Department.
