From natural disasters to auto crashes, emergency personnel who arrive first on the scene often put their own lives at risk.
On Sept. 22, our business, community, and elected leaders will gather at the annual Greater Raleigh Chamber/CPI Security First Responders Appreciation Breakfast to express gratitude for the first responders who keep our communities and residents safe every day.
We'll recognize North Carolina Highway Patrol Troop C, District III, Wake County Emergency Medical Services, Wake County Sheriff's Office, Raleigh-Wake County Emergency Communications Center, City of Raleigh Fire Department, and City of Raleigh Police Department.

Friends of First Responders
But with more than 2,000 first responders serving our community, it is impossible to recognize them all—that’s why we count on local businesses that step in to help as Friends of First Responders.
In an effort to thank these men and women for the dedication, bravery, and commitment to our community, participating businesses are offering special discounts to first responders in uniform or with identification. A list of participating businesses can be found here.
