Throughout the month of May, Mount Pleasant Emergency, Fire, Police and Public Services personnel will be recognized for their commitment to the community they serve. From social media campaigns, to public activities and internal celebrations, Mount Pleasant first responders will be honored during the month.

This proclamation reflects our gratitude for their service and offers them the recognition they deserve for keeping our families and community safe.”
