Rockville's First Responders To Be Honored At Ceremony

ROCKVILLE, MD — Between saving family members from a house fire, arresting law-breakers on the street, delivering babies in an ambulance, and housing convicted felons in jail, first responders and correctional officers have seen it all.

As a way to say thank you, the City of Rockville and the Rockville Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an awards ceremony for these local service members.

Members of the Rockville City Police Department, Rockville Volunteer Fire Department, Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, and Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation will be honored at the annual event, which will take place at Lakewood Country Club in Rockville on June 12.

"Each year, members of public safety agencies that serve the City of Rockville are recognized for their outstanding service," Rockville officials said in a statement. "Since 1990, 566 awards have been presented to members of Rockville's public safety agencies and civilians, including to K-9 partners."

This year's guest presenter will be John Bean, a retired captain from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
