Microphones Help Libby First Responders Stay Connected

  • Local Champion: Lincoln County
  • Date Funded: February 25, 2026
  • Grant Amount: $4,968

Libby’s Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office received advanced radios during the city’s recent disaster response, but they sit unused because the department lacks compatible microphones. County staff wanted to complete the radio system for daily and emergency communications, so they reached out to LOR with a solution. LOR’s funding will help Lincoln County purchase 24 compatible microphones, allowing first-responders to better coordinate emergency response in Libby’s geographically challenging terrain.
