The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office attended events at Utica University on March 10 in support of the American Heart Association. The participation took place during Heart Run Weekend, which included activities on both Friday and Saturday.
Heart Run Weekend is an annual event that brings together community members, organizations, and local officials to raise awareness and funds for heart health. The involvement of the Sheriff’s Office highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement to engage with public health initiatives.
In a statement, the Sheriff’s Office thanked those who contributed to the success of the weekend. “Thank you to the participants, and organizers who helped make Heart Run Weekend successful!”
The presence of law enforcement at such events is seen as a way to foster positive relationships between officers and residents while supporting important causes like cardiovascular health.
Looking ahead, similar collaborations between local agencies and community organizations are expected to continue as part of broader efforts to promote wellness in the region.
