Renton Police Department, WA

We’re proud to see our Communications Manager, Meeghan Black, recognized for her work with the Behind the Badge Foundation’s Line of Duty Death Response Team. Thank you, Meeghan, for the experience, dedication, and compassion you bring not only to our department, but to the law enforcement community as a whole.

We are honored to spotlight Meeghan Black, who serves as a Public Information Officer with Behind the Badge Foundation’s Line of Duty Death Response Team (LoDDRT). Meeghan is the Communications Manager for Renton Police Department, WA and brings extensive experience in public safety communications and community engagement to her role.

Meeghan’s connection to Behind the Badge Foundation began during her time as the Public Information Officer for the Bellevue Police Department following the tragic loss of Officer Jordan Jackson. During that difficult time, Behind the Badge Foundation was invited to help guide and support the agency through the memorial planning process. The structure, experience, guidance, and compassion of the team helped make an incredibly painful moment more manageable for everyone involved and left a lasting impression on Meeghan.

Inspired by that experience, Meeghan quickly said yes when asked to become involved with the response team so she could provide the same level of support to other agencies facing loss. As part of the LoDDRT, she assists fellow Public Information Officers during line-of-duty death responses while remaining ready to help wherever the team needs her most.

For Meeghan, one of the most meaningful aspects of this work is having experienced the team’s support firsthand. During a stressful and sad time, Behind the Badge Foundation members lifted her agency up and helped put on an amazing funeral for their fallen colleague. That experience reinforced the importance of compassion, professionalism, and steady guidance during the most difficult moments for agencies and families.

Outside of the response team, Meeghan enjoys hiking, reading, cooking, listening to music, and spending time outdoors.

Thank you, Meeghan, for your dedication, compassion, and commitment to honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Who knew the library could be this exciting? 📚🤼

Last Saturday, wrestlers took over the Renton Library for Lucha Libro, a family-friendly event that brought books, wrestling and fun together under one roof.

Officer Chang stopped by while on patrol, met some of the wrestlers and connected with community members enjoying the event.

We love finding new ways to connect with our community! 💙🚓
