MASH Focus here, and today I’m excited to introduce something we’ve been working on for a while: the TRUST Initiative.
TRUST stands for Transparency, Responsibility, Unity, Service, and Truth. It’s our commitment to hold both law enforcement, public officials—and anyone who shapes or guides our communities—to a higher standard in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
This isn’t just talk. We’re going to shine a light on what’s working, call out what isn’t, and create real opportunities for the community to engage directly with the people who serve it.
Whether you’re in law enforcement, local government, or just a concerned citizen, this initiative is for all of us.
Stay tuned — over the next few weeks we’ll break down what each part of TRUST actually looks like in practice, and we’ll be announcing our first set of interviews and community forum this week.
This is about rebuilding real trust, with honesty, accountability, and real conversation. Thanks for being part of it.
Think LE, teachers, first responders, parking guys, Job and Family services people, literally anyone who serves the community and the community needs to trust. This includes small business owners that raise money for causes and non profits! Send us your ideas. 😁
We have a few contributors on the roster already, but there’s so many we need to bring on, let us know who you want to see sooner than later!
With respect,
Holly Kellums
