RIFLE TEAM: Used in funerals and memorial ceremonies to provide the traditional “Three Rifle Volley” rifle salute. Additionally they provide the Color Guards for the Flag Team.
COLOR TEAM: Used to post, present or display, according to protocol, the National, State, City, Police and Police Memorial Flags at a multitude of ceremonies, meetings and events.
CASKET TEAM: Carries the remains of fallen Officers, and retired Officers from the funeral home and church to the cemetery. They also provide the Casket Watch during wakes and viewings. This Team contains the Flag Team which is responsible for folding the National Flag for presentation to the family funerals.
BAG PIPERS: Serves to escort the fallen to the final resting place while mournfully playing Amazing Grace.
BUGLER: The bugler plays "Taps". At the gravesite, after the service concludes, the bugler makes their way slowly up to the head of the casket and stands a final watch with the deceased. This is done so that when the family and others leave, they may take one last look at the gravesite and will see that their loved one is never alone. This final watch is stood until everyone has left the cemetery.
