In episode 12 we’ll hear from the foundation’s executive director Kevin Store and Houghton Chief of Police John Donnelly about UPSET West. Looking Ahead Thanks to all of those who have helped make UPSET West a possibility and success since its formation in 2016. Our next episode will be the final one.
