The Honor Guard strives to embody our department’s core values of Pride, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, and Empathy. PRIDE. Our team is dedicated to not only aiding our department in times of need but is humbled when able to assist other departments in their times of need.

Responsibilities:

Our Honor Guard can and will aid any department that may need help in the event of a LODD or other type of service. We can assist with the planning of the event and the training of the department’s personnel so that THEY can best do right by their fallen member. We are also willing to open our training to other departments to share the knowledge we have gained throughout the past few years. We look forward to serving you with PRIDE.
