Gaithersburg, MD - Monday, August 6 - The Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce will honor Upcounty Police Officers, Special Operations Teams, Firefighters and Paramedics at their 17th Annual Public Safety Awards Event.

The event will be held on Friday, August 10 at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, Harvest Building, 16 Chestnut Street, Gaithersburg.

We are excited to announce that this year, we will honor 106 of the County’s & the City of Gaithersburg’s finest men & women.  One is the recipient of the highest award, the Medal of Valor.

In 2011, over 200 people were in attendance as several members of the Gaithersburg Police Department, Montgomery County Police 5th & 6th Districts & Montgomery County Fire & Rescue were recognized for bravery, distinguished service and meritorious service.  This annual awards program provides the business community with an opportunity to publicly thank those who help maintain the quality of life in the Gaithersburg and Germantown area.

We invite you to come and join us as we recognize the heroic deeds of our local law enforcement and fire-rescue workers. These men and women go above and beyond the call of duty to serve our local community and we want them to know we appreciate them and their hard work.
