A heartfelt thank-you to Okanogan Behavioral HealthCare - OBHC for their continued support in helping us strengthen community connections between law enforcement and the people we serve.

OBHC understands that in moments of crisis, trust can be the difference—and that trust is built long before emergencies happen. By supporting outreach and engagement efforts, they’re helping create safer, more connected communities where officers and residents know each other not just in times of need, but every day in between.

We’re grateful for this partnership and the shared vision of proactive, compassionate public safety.
