Two more cities receive Blue Shield Designation

LAKE OF THE OZARKS - Osage Beach and Sunrise Beach have officially received the Missouri Blue Shield designation from the Missouri Department of Public Safety (DPS).

This honor highlights communities that have a strong commitment to public safety and an ongoing support for the men and women in law enforcement, the DPS stated.

Launched by Governor Mike Kehoe in January 2025 through Executive Order 25-03, the Missouri Blue Shield Program recognizes cities and counties that go above and beyond to reduce crime, strengthen partnerships between law enforcement agencies and build meaningful connections with the communities they serve.

“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,” said Governor Kehoe. “We designed the Missouri Blue Shield Program to recognize communities that go above and beyond in creating a place where people want to live, work, and build their futures. A Missouri Blue Shield designation is a testament to the hard work and dedication of local governments across Missouri who are leading the way in making public safety a priority.”
