PROTECTS - Redwood Falls is making a BIG impact across Redwood County ❤️💙

From helping establish the Redwood Falls Police Department K9 program with Kiro 🐾 to supporting less-lethal PepperBall launchers, officer training, equipment, and community outreach efforts — PROTECTS continues to strengthen public safety through community support.

What makes this organization especially incredible is the group of volunteers behind it all. Patti Machart, Emily Monson, Steph Thooft, Jenifer Manthei, Abby Larson, and Krysta Schroeder dedicate countless hours behind the scenes organizing fundraisers, planning events, reviewing applications, and working closely with local law enforcement agencies to help provide critical resources that may not otherwise be possible.

Their passion for supporting both law enforcement and the community shines through in everything they do, and the impact is being felt throughout Redwood County every single day.

A huge thank you as well to the Orrin S. Estebo Foundation and all of the community members, donors, and supporters who continue to make these projects possible.
