The Greater Fayetteville Chamber is pleased to announce the 2024 Annual Public Safety Valor Awards on September 10, 2024. This event is to show community appreciation to our first responders in the City of Fayetteville, Cumberland County and at Fort Liberty.
These awardees are nominated by their Chief or agency head from a range of law enforcement, fire/rescue, and emergency management agencies that serve Cumberland County for the awards found below. Incidents should have occurred within Cumberland County in the past year, or have involved first responders representing a local public safety agency.
If a first responder has gone above and beyond for you or your family, nominate him/her for the "People's Choice" award by emailing your story to JMcLaughlin@FayBiz.com.
