VBT Honor Guard to present colors at Tigers’ game on April 21

Van Buren Township’s Public Safety Honor Guard will present the colors during the pre-game and opening ceremonies at the Detroit Tigers third- annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Night on Monday, April 21 at Comerica Park.
This annual event, in partnership with the Detroit Tigers and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, honors the service and sacrifice of Michigan’s men and women in law enforcement.
VBT Public Safety Director Gregory Laurain said he is appreciative for this opportunity.
“On behalf of the Van Buren Township Department of Public Safety, it is truly an honor to have our Honor Guard selected out of the more than 400 local, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies in Michigan to represent the law enforcement community when it will be recognized by Major League Baseball and the Detroit Tigers on Law Enforcement Appreciation Night,” Laurain said.
“The opportunity to participate in this esteemed event speaks volumes as to the reputation the Van Buren Township Honor Guard unit has attained, which is earned exclusively through the high levels of proficiency, commitment and professionalism of its members.”
The VBT Honor Guard has presented the colors in Washington D.C. at special ceremonies, including the opening of the Black Tie Event at the Ronald Reagan Center and during opening ceremonies for National Law Enforcement Police Week.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend to honor the service and sacrifice of Michigan’s men and women in law enforcement. Special seating packages are available. For ticketing information, visit www.tigers.com/law .
For each ticket purchased, $10 will be donated to the National Law Enforcement Museum. For more information, contact Director Laurain at (734) 699-8930 or [email protected] .
