The City of Lebanon on Tuesday officially received Missouri Blue Shield designation from the Missouri Department of Public Safety.
This honor “recognizes Missouri communities that demonstrate a steadfast commitment to enhancing public safety and supporting law enforcement,” according to a city press release.
The Missouri Blue Shield Program, created by Governor Mike Kehoe in January recognizes local governments that make significant efforts to reduce crime, foster law enforcement collaboration, and build strong community partnerships for public safety.
“Public safety is the foundation of a thriving community and state. It affects everything from families feeling secure to businesses having the confidence to invest and grow,” Kehoe said in a written statement.
