Description	Cost is Undeterminable/Value Added Service. The Honor Guard is a ceremonial unit responsible for attending special community events such as parades, memorial presentations and funerals for public safety officers in the communities. The Honor Guard consists of 1-2 officers from each community. Members undergo one week of training which covers topics such as marching in formation, proper flag presentation and folding, holding the casket and memorial presentations. This collaboration allows the public safety officers to take part in community events, properly represent their department and comrades during high profile events and increase public relations. The collaboration between the five communities has allowed for the sharing of costs associated with the group such as the purchasing of additional uniforms, training classes and specialized badges. Participation in the Honor Guard is voluntary and while attending events outside of the five communities, participants are not paid. Savings: $16,000 in additional costs would be added if Harper Woods was to operate Honor Guard with all Harper Woods personnel.
