Honoring First Responders in WPB

On November 15, the U.S. Postal Service and U.S. Postal Inspection Service Miami Division recognized Palm Beach State College’s Public Safety programs and its partner agencies at an Honoring First Responders Forever stamp dedication on the college’s Lake Worth Campus.

West Palm Beach, FL, Postmaster Ernie Onody and Postal Inspector Scott Horne presented framed enlargements of the Honoring First Responder stamp to the college’s Criminal Justice Institute, Emergency Medical Services, and Firefighter Academy, as well as its partner agencies in Corrections, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Rescue, and Law Enforcement.

Emergencies of all varieties, from crimes and medical incidents to accidents and fires, occur in communities every day. These critical situations require men and women who possess the training and knowledge to rescue the endangered, treat the injured, and restore safety and order. The college trains the most first responders in Palm Beach County.
