(KLZA)--Holt County Commissioners have signed documents necessary for the County to apply for designation as a Missouri Blue Shield community and for a renegotiated contract with Laptop Pitstop which serves as Holt County's contractor for law enforcement computers and software.
The Mound City News reported the Blue Shield designation, if approved would give the county access to state grants for purchasing equipment or training officers.
The Blue Shield Community program is part of Governor Mike Kehoe's Safer Missouri initiative.
Blue Shield communities are those that have shown support for law enforcement officers and a commitment to public safety.
The Missouri Department of Public Safety will accept grant applications in July for the 2026 fiscal year.
