The Oklahoma City Police Department took to social media, with a post embracing the significance of the day set aside to honor the individuals whose professions demand immediate action and unwavering courage.
"Today, we join our community in recognizing National First Responders Day — a day to honor those who answer the call when seconds matter most," the Oklahoma City Police Department stated on their official Facebook page. This day serves as a reminder of the readiness and sacrifice of not just law enforcement, but also fire, EMS, dispatch, and other emergency personnel who stand vigilant around the clock to serve and protect.
A broad acknowledgment was given to the men and women who don a uniform and face the unpredictable in order to afford safety to others. "To all who put on the uniform and step into uncertainty so others can be safe — thank you," the Oklahoma City Police Department conveyed in their post, extending a blanket thanks to all branches of the first responder family.
