Photo of the Week from Grant County, Indiana!

Three I.U.P.A. Local Grant County Sheriff’s Employees Union, #825 Members were recognized by the Grant County Sheriff’s Office for their meritorious service and extraordinary bravery when they ran into a burning home three times to rescue the homeowner from an upstairs bedroom while the fire department was in route and after they arrived shorthanded.

Of their commendable actions, Grant County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook, “Sgt. Ryan Troyer, Sgt. Anthony Purdy, and Deputy Jalen Ward received certificates of appreciation. These officers were principally involved in saving the life of another person, or whose personal actions were directly responsible for the lifesaving act. Congratulations! We appreciate all you do!”

Sergeant Ryan Troyer, Sergeant Anthony Purdy, and Deputy Jalen Ward are pictured below, holding the certificates given to them by the department. Also below is the Meritorious Service Award Citation that was given to all three of them in recognition of their bravery and service. The I.U.P.A. and the Grant County Sheriff’s Employees Union, #825 join Grant County Sheriff’s Office in recognizing them and their heroism.

Each week, the I.U.P.A. Briefing Room features a photo that exemplifies the valuable part of the community that our Law Enforcement Officers all across the U.S. are and their positive impact as well as their dedication, service, and sacrifice.
