Congratulations to the newly appointed Austin Police Department Chief of Police, Mike Hartman!

Thank you, Laura, for your many years of dedicated service the the sheriff’s office and the people of Olmsted County! ❤️🫡

Although we wrote about this in our June newsletter, we also wanted to post this photo. Executive Support Specialist Laura Collins recently retired from the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office after 29 years of service.

On August 8, 1997, Laura was hired by then-Sheriff Steve Borchardt to replace Joan Hall, another long-time Sheriff's Office executive support staff member. The position she held all these years is very key to the behind-the-scenes workings of our office and Laura filled the role expertly.

The Olmsted County Sheriff's Office will miss you, Laura. We give you our best wishes in all that you do in retirement. Thank you!

Thank you, Mayo Clinic Ambulance Service, St. Cloud, for the warm reception and desire to pour into the wellness of your team! We loved sharing time with you all!

Salt & Light Chaplains recently joined Rochester Public Schools administrators, Rochester/Olmsted County Emergency Management, and School Resource Officers for a school emergency training exercise.

In the aftermath of a school crisis, chaplains help provide compassionate support and assist with the safe reunification of students and families. We are grateful to train alongside our community partners as we prepare to serve when it matters most.

Safe City Nights are back!
