Governor Mike Kehoe awarded Missouri Public Safety Medals to 22 first responders and Public Safety Civilian Partnership Awards to two civilians, including Jennifer Martin, a Willow Springs schoolteacher who crawled across an iced-over pond in February 2025 to rescue a neighbor's child who had fallen through.
Three of the 24 honorees received awards posthumously for deaths in the line of duty.
