Honor Guard


The Morristown Police Department's Honor Guard is made up of 21 members. Routinely, an honor guard detail can require anywhere between four and fifteen officers. Officers of the Honor Guard train as a team every other month.

MFD Battalion Chief Clark Taylor is an honorary member of the Honor Guard, acting as the detail's bag piper. The presence of bagpipes in ceremonies attended by the Honor Guard is very popular with the community.

The Honor Guard is an asset to the department and to the community, and is recognized throughout the region as a professional, well trained unit. The Honor Guard participates in police funerals, parades, and other functions as needed. Honor Guard personnel of the Morristown Police Department also assist other police agencies in the training of their own Honor Guard units. The Honor Guard takes great pride in their contribution to the department and community.
