Finally, we want to thank our final award recipient from our 2026 Restoring Hope Gala, Detective Erin Hug!

The Sara Simmons Advocacy Award is given to someone that reflects the passion she has demonstrated in keeping victims safe and ending domestic violence. The murder of Sara’s daughter, Debra Frost, only strengthened her war against perpetrators of domestic violence. Soon after her daughter’s death, Sara began pursuit of legislation that served to empower victims of domestic violence by ensuring stronger legal protections and law enforcement action against assailants. That legislation, known as PA 53, was passed in 2003. On a national level, Sara permitted S.A.F.E. Place to use her and her family’s tragedy by the production of our educational video, Battered Heart’s. The video has been used across the nation for training purposes. She has truly set a high standard for award recipients to aspire to.

This year, we are excited to present the Sara Simmons Advocacy Award to Detective Erin Hug of Marshall Police Department!

Detective Hug plays a key role in the successful implementation of the Lethality Assessment Protocol within our community. Her attention to detail, diligence, and consistent follow-through in this process have directly contributed to the timely identification of high-risk victims and their connection to critical, lifesaving services. Her sound judgment, experience, and ability to model effective practices exhibits her strong leadership capacity and understanding of collaborative community-based policing. Additionally, her part in conceptualizing and developing the Soft Interview Room has created a more supportive and trauma informed environment for victims during interviews and likely increases the effectiveness of investigations.

Detective Hug’s integrity, professionalism, and compassion for victims are greatly appreciated by survivors and our team. Please join us in congratulating Detective Hug! 💜

The Marshall Police Department would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Marshall Community Foundation for awarding the department a $1,500 grant to assist with the purchase of water rescue equipment. This generous support will help enhance our preparedness and response capabilities during water-related emergencies, allowing our officers to better protect both residents and visitors in our community.

Investments such as this directly contribute to public safety and provide our department with the tools needed to respond effectively in critical situations. We are grateful for the Marshall Community Foundation’s continued commitment to supporting organizations and initiatives that make a positive impact throughout the community.

On behalf of the Marshall Police Department, thank you for your partnership, support, and dedication to the safety and well-being of Marshall residents.
