Racine County, WI – The Racine County Sheriff’s Office is joining communities across the nation today in celebrating National First Responders Day, recognizing the men and women who dedicate their lives to public safety.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the day honors all who serve on the front lines—law enforcement officers, dispatchers, EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters—whose commitment and courage protect communities every day.
“We’re especially proud of the incredible first responders within our own agency who continue to serve Racine County with dedication and heart,” the department said in a social media post Tuesday.
The annual observance is a time for reflection and gratitude toward those who respond first in emergencies, providing steady support during crises and offering aid when it’s needed most.
Residents are encouraged to thank local first responders and show appreciation for their service through messages, visits, or community gestures of support.
National First Responders Day, officially recognized by Congress in 2017, is observed nationwide on October 28 each year.
