The Military Order of the Purple Heart's
First Responder Program |
The
purpose of the First Responders Program is to pay respect to Law Enforcement Officers
and Fire Fighters who are killed or wounded in the line of duty. It is administered
by the National Public Safety Officer who is working with Department Commanders
to expand the program
throughout the nation. It is now in the second year of a three
year pilot project and is growing.
Selected Department
Commanders are currently appointing First Responder Coordinators to establish and
maintain Department-wide programs, involving assigned Chapters, to honor these heroic
members of our community. In turn, Chapter Commanders are appointing First Responder
coordinators to work with their Department counterparts and the National Public
Safety Officer.
Public Safety Officers
KILLED in the line of duty are recognized by awarding the MOPH Memorial Plaques
which are available from Personalized Just For You, LLC.
Public Safety Officers WOUNDED in the line of duty are recognized
by awarding an MOPH Citation which is
available from
MOPH National Headquarters.
Additional information may
be obtained from the National Public Safety Officer. Help us honor these individuals
for there service and sacrifice for the betterment of society.
