Laurens County Sheriff's Office
Honor Guard Unit

The Laurens County Sheriff’s Office has a group of deputies, both male and female, from all divisions within the office that are assigned to a special duty.  As the group of deputies work together at various ceremonies and patriotic events, they honor and give high respect for those who have fallen in the service of protecting our liberties and stand as sentinels assigned to guard and protect the virtues of the American flag. These deputies comprise what is known as the Sheriff’s Honor Guard.
The Honor Guard Unit is a secondary duty assignment and members are selected from varying units within the Laurens County Sheriff's Office. Candidates are thoroughly screened and must pass an oral interview to be selected to join this elite unit within the Sheriff's Office.  Deputies who are highly motivated and maintain high standards of appearance and conduct and show aptitude for ceremonial duty are likely to be considered to serve in this assignment.

A primary role for honor guards is to provide funeral honors for fallen peace officers.  An honor guard may also serve as the “guardians of the colors” by displaying and escorting the national flag on ceremonial occasions or recognized functions.  

Whether presenting the nation’s flag or honoring those fallen, the Honor Guard is professional and precise in its demeanor and presentation of duties.  One must understand and have within them the conviction and belief that what we serve and protect is worth the price that is needed to be paid, and we recognize those who shared that conviction and have paid that price.  Whether it is from the special uniform, the march, the salute, the posting of the colors, or folding of the American flag, each detail is practiced and performed with an exactness that shows the respect we all have of our profession and the flag.


"All gave some, some gave all..."

The Laurens County Sheriff's Office Honor Guard Unit is dedicated to our Brothers and Sisters in Law Enforcement, Fire Services and EMS that have lost their lives protecting and serving our citizens and our communities.
