We’ve got 4 training sessions open in November, can’t wait to see you there:
On June 15, 2019, New Hampshire police officer and First Responder Grants consultant Kris Kloetz had to make one of the most difficult decisions an officer can make.
During a confrontation with an armed and intoxicated man in New Hampshire, Kloetz and two fellow officers determined their lives were in imminent danger, and had to use deadly force. While Kloetz also attempted to provide on-scene medical attention, the man succumbed to his wounds.
A subsequent investigation concluded that Kloetz and his fellow officers were justified in their use of deadly force, according to state Attorney General Gordon MacDonald.
On Oct. 1, 2021, Kloetz was awarded the Congressional Law Enforcement Award for Above and Beyond the Call of Duty, the highest law enforcement award one can receive in New Hampshire.
Kloetz was nominated for the award by Chief Mark Lewandoski, and a committee of retired and current law enforcement personnel unanimously approved the recommendation that Kloetz receive the award.
“Enforcement officers are tasked with resolving extremely difficult and dangerous situations,” wrote US Senator Jeanne Shaheen in a letter to Kloetz. “Your actions on this date are an example of how NH law enforcement officers are willing and able to confront difficult situations in order to keep our communities safe.”
This week is the week! Application dates for the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Grant run Oct. 13 through Nov. 10, 2021.
And “firehouse” might be in the name, but this grant isn’t just for the Fire Service. Public safety entities and first responders from across the industry are welcome to apply.
Typically the Foundation looks at a 60-mile radius of Firehouse Subs locations for eligible applicants. However, they consider grants from outside those areas too.
The Firehouse Subs program focuses on funding lifesaving equipment and prevention education tools. A typical application period receives up to 600 requests. It can be a competitive program—but your agency can make the cut.
The latest application round of the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Grant opens Oct. 13.
Don’t let the name fool you: This popular grant is open to first responders and public safety entities across the sector.
The Foundation mainly focuses its resources in areas served by Firehouse Subs restaurants, typically within a 60-mile radius of a Firehouse Subs location. However, the Foundation does consider applications outside of the 60-mile guideline.
The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation supports improving the lifesaving capabilities of first responders and public safety agencies.
