First Sussex County Sheriff's Honor Guard Unit Formed
The group of volunteers display and escort the national flag at ceremonies, parades, funerals and other functions.
Sheriff Michael F. Strada announced last week the formation of the first Sussex County Sheriff’s Corrections Honor Guard Unit.
The Honor Guard Unit is a ceremonial unit comprised of volunteers who are “guardians of the colors” by displaying and escorting the national flag on ceremonial occasions, parades, funerals and other functions.
These corrections officers attended an Honor Guard Boot Camp at the Bergen County Police Academy. Their first official detail was at the Branchville Memorial Day Parade.
