DESPP COMMISSIONER RONNELL A. HIGGINS WISHES THE NATIONAL GUARD A HAPPY 388th BIRTHDAY
On the 388th birthday of the National Guard, we want to salute the men and women who share our deep commitment to protecting the citizens of the State of Connecticut. From the Connecticut State Police to our Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, we know we can count on the National Guard as a trusted partner who stands with us during natural disasters and other emergencies.
Although we have different roles and we don't quite have the nearly 400-year legacy of our friends in the National Guard – the Connecticut State Police are just 101 years old – we have a long history of working together in this state. We look forward to continued cooperation and collaboration with the Connecticut National Guard in the years to come.
The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and its six divisions wish the National Guard a healthy and hearty Happy Birthday!
