Summary: The Honor Guard is a dedicated group of volunteer officers who serve as formal representatives of the MPD at funerals, special events and other functions. Honor Guard representatives adhere to formal etiquette and wear ceremonial police uniforms. Members attend specialized trainings to hone skills in funeral protocol, rifle and flag team assignments as well as guard/usher duties. The Honor Guard remains a cherished tradition at the MPD, and in this podcast, team leader, Capt. Jen Krueger Favour, talks about the emotional toll some events can have on unit members.
