Honor Guard

Honor Guard
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Honor Guard is a highly trained unit, which is called upon to perform ceremonious and patriotic tributes at numerous public events.  These events include dedications, memorials, funerals, parades and other official events.  The unit can perform specific drills, including posting colors, special close quarter drills, rifle manual, flag ceremonies, all tailored for each occasion.

Honor Guard requires its members to have high ethical standards, dedication and motivation.  The members of the Honor Guard are required to maintain exceptional standards of appearance and conduct, both on and off duty.  All members have a specific aptitude for ceremonial duty and movements. 

In 2016, The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Honor Guard Rifle Squad received prestigious black gloves from The Honor Guard Network. The black gloves symbolize the excellence, commitment and attention to detail of the seven-member firing squad as it performed a three-volley salute in perfect synchronization during the heartbreaking funeral ceremony for Sgt. Stacey Baumgartner of the Patton Village Police Department, who passed away in June after a high-speed pursuit ended in a fatal car accident. Only three law enforcement agencies in the country have received this honor.
