The Fall River Police Honor Guard was established in 1987 and consists of a team of police officers. In addition to each officer’s duty assignment, each team member volunteers additional time as a member of the Honor Guard team. Under the direction of Sgt. Steven R. Burt, the team is dedicated to demonstrating a higher standard of professionalism while representing the Fall River Police Department in parades, city functions, and funeral services for fallen police officers and retirees. These officers train monthly, practicing synchronized marching drills, funeral ceremonies, flag folding and presentation while proudly representing the men and women of the Fall River Police Department.
