Radar is a valuable addition to our department that was 100% funded by grants and donations. He will provide support for students, veterans, victims, first responders, and the entire community of Odessa. We are committed to providing compassionate crisis intervention and effective stress management services to empower individuals facing difficult circumstances. And Radar will play a significant role in our efforts. Welcome to Odessa Radar!"
