Today, we honor and mourn two Christian County Sheriff's Office Deputies whose lives were tragically taken in the line of duty. Their loss is felt far beyond the badge. They were protectors, friends, family, and the kind of public servants who stood between danger and the people they swore to keep safe.

These deputies showed a level of courage and commitment that cannot be measured. They responded when others would hesitate, they served when others turned away, and they carried a responsibility that few will ever truly understand. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

To their families, their brothers and sisters in uniform, and the entire Christian County community, our hearts are with you. May we honor these deputies not only by remembering their names, but by reflecting the integrity, bravery, and compassion they lived every day.

Rest easy, heroes. 🖤💙🖤

For those unaware, two St. Louis Metropolitan Police Officers were seriously injured in a motor-vehicle-accident last Friday.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those two officers, their families, and their co-workers. The injured officers are also friends and former colleagues of several of our officers. We are and will always be one big family, with one goal in mind - to keep St. Louis and the surrounding suburbs as safe as possible.

These officers have a long road to recovery. If you would like to contribute to their Go Fund Me, you can do so here:

We lost our friend, Officer Matt Schmitz, five years ago today. We still miss his laugh, his honesty, and the way he could make any moment better—whether he was quoting his favorite show, The Wire, cracking a Natty Light, or just being the funniest person in the room without even trying.

Matt had a way of making everyone feel welcome. The space he left is still huge, but so is the gratitude for all the memories he gave us.

Like they say on The Wire—“all the pieces matter.”
Matt was definitely one of those pieces.

We miss you, brother.

🩷 T- Shirt Fundraiser & Support 🩷

To our friends, family, and community, we're asking for your support of one of our most cherished colleagues at the Maryland Heights Police Department, Tracy Hollinshed.

Tracy was recently diagnosed with a serious health condition and we're asking for your help! Tracy currently serves as the Secretary for the Detective Bureau of the Maryland Heights Police Department. Prior to that appointment, she served as a long-time emergency dispatcher for our department. If you have ever needed to contact our police department, chances are you have spoken to Tracy. She truly is the heart and soul of our department. Tracy is also a life-long resident of Maryland Heights, as well as a graduate of Pattonville High School.

Tracy is a protector of her co-workers, a supporter of the great work our department does each and every day, and she uplifts everyone around her.

To help support Tracy, we have created a T-Shirt fundraiser with the help of our friends at Mattingly's Embroidery. The website for ordering shirts is https://www.byjack.com/collections/mhpd-team-tracy-supporter

The T-Shirts will be delivered for free to the Maryland Heights Police Department once per week. If you would like to pick up your shirt, select "Pickup in Store" just prior to paying for the shirt. The shirts can also be shipped to you for an additional fee.

The profits of each shirt will be donated directly to Tracy! If you have any questions, please send us a message on this page or email [email protected].

Thank you so much for your support!

Custom and comfy apparel, created for you. No minimum order quantity, one of a kind designs.
