Governor Josh Shapiro has awarded the 2025 Keystone First Responder Award to the families of three Pennsylvania first responders who died in the line of duty. The ceremony took place at the Governor's Residence and marked the second time this award has been presented since its creation through bipartisan legislation signed by Governor Shapiro last year.

The Keystone First Responder Award is given to first responders who have lost their lives or suffered career-ending injuries while serving their communities. The award aims to honor their bravery, sacrifice, and dedication to public safety.

"Pennsylvanians who put on the uniform and run towards danger to keep our communities safe represent the very best of our Commonwealth," said Governor Shapiro. "We owe these heroes and their families a debt of gratitude that can never truly be repaid - but today we honor their sacrifice, remember their courage, and reaffirm our commitment to always stand with Pennsylvania's first responders, law enforcement officers, and their loved ones. These heroes displayed incredible bravery and professionalism, dedicating themselves to keeping others safe - and their courage, selflessness, and commitment to community will continue to inspire us for years to come."

The annual presentation underscores ongoing efforts in Pennsylvania to recognize those who serve in high-risk public safety roles.
