Dunklin County Sheriff’s Office Receives Blue Shield Grant for the Second Consecutive Year!

I’m proud to announce that the Dunklin County Sheriff’s Office has been selected as a recipient of the Blue Shield Grant for the second consecutive year, as part of Governor Mike Kehoe’s efforts to support law enforcement agencies across Missouri.

Following a serious incident earlier this year in a neighboring county, I made the decision to use this year’s grant funding to invest in additional protective equipment for our deputies.

Through this grant, we have purchased ballistic helmets, rifle-rated ballistic vests, breaching tools, and tactical medical bags for our deputies. Some of the equipment, including the breaching tool sets and several rifle-rated vests, remains on back order and will be received once it becomes available.

This is equipment I sincerely hope our deputies will never have to use. However, if the day comes when they need it, I want to ensure they have the proper tools and protection to help keep themselves, their fellow officers, and the citizens they serve safe.

Our deputies put themselves on the line every day to protect the citizens of Dunklin County and our surrounding communities. Making sure they have the equipment and resources necessary to perform their duties safely is a responsibility I take seriously.

Our mission is simple: Protect Those Who Protect Us.

I’m grateful for this grant opportunity and for the continued efforts to provide Missouri law enforcement agencies with the resources needed to serve and protect their communities.

A fallen Butler County firefighter will be honored at a memorial service this weekend.

Missouri’s fire service will host memorial services at the Fire Fighters Memorial of Missouri in Kingdom City to honor the state’s fallen firefighters. On Saturday at 7 p.m., a candlelight vigil will be held for all Missouri firefighters who have died while serving their communities.

On Sunday, at 10:30 a.m., a memorial service will be held in which attention will be called to five Missouri firefighters recognized recently as having died in the line of duty, including Butler County Fire Protection District Shift Commander Jackson Warren.

Warren died in the line of duty on March 6th when a brush truck he was driving to respond to a grass fire crashed in a single vehicle accident.

Warren’s name has also been added to a monument wall commemorating Missouri firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their fellow Missourians.

Governor Mike Kehoe has proclaimed October 4th as Fire Service Memorial Day in Missouri.
