Faith & Blue

The Faith & Blue initiative is the largest nationwide law enforcement-community engagement collaboration in US history. Faith & Blue strives to reinforce the ties that bind law enforcement and the public together, through the common bonds of faith and fellowship. Thousands of similar events will be held across the nation during the first weekend of October. 

Sheriff Fatheree introduced Faith & Blue to Summit County in 2021, and it has continued to grow and evolve with each passing year. Houses of worship, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations from throughout the county are invited to participate. (See photos from last year)

Summit Faith & Blue is free and open to the public! This year, Summit Faith & Blue is being held at Hardesty Park in Akron, on Saturday, October 7th. Fun, family-friendly interactive events, games, raffles, performances, and demos are planned throughout the day, as well as a 1K fun run/walk (the “Walkie Talkie”). 

Also, please consider bringing a canned food or other non-perishable food item to Faith & Blue to participate in our food drive to benefit Haven of Rest Ministries!

This year, as part of Summit Faith & Blue, we will be hosting a 1K fun run/walk called the "Walkie Talkie" in which participants can run/walk with members of area law enforcement. Everyone who completes the Walkie Talkie will receive a custom Faith & Blue medal!
