Montana’s 2026 Law Enforcement Appreciation Poster Winners Announced

The children of Montana are truly one-of-a-kind, aren't they? They get to grow up in one of the most beautiful states, learn the value of hard work (and the benefits that come with work ethic) and help Montana grow through the generations.

Recently, the state recognized several children who put their talents on display in appreciation for law enforcement.

2026 Law Enforcement Appreciation Poster Contest

Attorney General Austin Knudsen, along with Stockman Bank, announced the winner of the fifth annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Poster Contest which took place during National Police Week.

"It’s important to instill in young Montanans that this is a state that ‘Backs the Blue.’ Knowing they have the support of the community can make a world of difference to law enforcement officers, and these posters are a visual reminder that Montanans have their backs," Attorney General Knudsen said.

And who is the statewide winner of the contest? That honor goes to none other than Brooke Murphy of Missoula. She, along with her classmates, were treated to an ice cream party today and Brooke's class also received $750 from Stockman Bank.

"Colonel Sager and I had a great time celebrating with Brooke and her class today," AG Knudsen said in the statement.

"Thanks to everyone who submitted a poster this year."
