Mission & Vision:
We are a small nonprofit dedicated to bridging the gap between police and communities. Our vision is that one day communities will thrive because our police officers are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy – reaching areas in the community that only they can. Our programs and services focus heavily on making meaningful changes that bring harmony and hope. Our goal is to go on a national level, encouraging community policing and involvement.
Slogan:
Together We Can | Police & Communities.
History:
Back The Blue Police was created June 30, 2020 after Kara organized an appreciation luncheon for the Skiatook & Sperry Police and Fire EMT departments. While planning this event Kara received a few messages from civilians wishing to create unity and understanding among police and communities. It was clear there was a need for all voices to be heard in a respectful and kind way.

My great-grandfather, grandfather, brother, uncles, and cousins all served in policing in some capacity - everything from Town Marshals, FBI, to DEA. I was a police officer for 26 years and served as a college instructor teaching Criminal Justice. One day a friend refers Kara to me because she is writing a book. We started talking and after a few weeks she asked me to become more involved and offered a nomination on the board as the Director of Programs. I happily excepted and I’m now serving my community in a different capacity.
