The City of McAlester has expressed gratitude to the Spirit of Blue Foundation for their generous donation of trauma kits to the McAlester Police Department. The City Council formally recognized the contribution with the approval of a resolution at their recent meeting.
“These trauma kits are a vital addition to our officers’ equipment and will undoubtedly save lives in critical situations,” said Police Chief Kevin Hearod.
Grants Administrator Michael Allen added, “This donation highlights the incredible support organizations like the Spirit of Blue Foundation provide to communities like ours.”
In May 2024, McAlester’s grants office applied to the Oregon-based nonprofit, requesting 60 professional-grade trauma kits. The foundation approved the request as an in-kind donation, continuing their mission to enhance law enforcement safety across the country.
The resolution passed by the City Council serves as an official thank you to the Spirit of Blue Foundation for their commitment to public safety.
