Behind the Badge: Meet Local Law Enforcement & First Responders

Join us for Behind the Badge, a new event that brings together local law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, and dispatchers for a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to protect and serve our community.
Thank you to our event partner and moderator, Megan Mulholland, owner of Compass Communications! 
This event will be held in the lower level at the Heart of the Valley Chamber.

What you’ll take away:

• A deeper understanding of the challenges and experiences faced by first responders
• Practical tips to keep your business and employees safe
• Candid stories from the field you won’t hear anywhere else
• Ideas for how businesses and public safety agencies can work together to build a stronger, safer community

This is more than just a panel — it’s a chance to connect, ask questions, and build relationships with the people who are there when it matters most.

Let’s bridge the gap between business and public safety — Register now & join us for this impactful conversation!
