Celebrating Heroes

Each year at the weekly Sunrise Rotary meeting before Memorial Day, Sunrise Rotary recognizes one outstanding public servant from the Baton Rouge Police Department, Baton Rouge Fire Department, Emergency Medical Service, East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Department, City Constable’s Office, Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries, Louisiana State Police, and Louisiana State Parole and Probation Office.

The Public Service Awards committee contacts each of these departments to obtain the name of the most outstanding employee during the previous year then arranges to get plaques made with the name of each recipient, which are presented to the individual during the meeting.
