The Malden Department of Public Safety has received Missouri’s Blue Shield designation from the Department of Public Safety. The designation recognizes communities that demonstrate a steadfast commitment to enhancing public safety and supporting law enforcement.
The Missouri Blue Shield Program was created by Governor Kehoe in January. It recognizes local governments that make significant efforts to reduce crime, foster law enforcement collaboration, and build strong community partnerships for public safety.
Malden is the second in Dunklin County to become a Blue Shield City. Kennett received that recognition earlier this month.
