Our hearts are with this beautiful family. Great deputy, who has always served his heart out.
This is a fundraiser organized for this great deputy and the hard times ahead for him and his family.

Deputy Hayden Liddiard with the Utah County Sheriff’s Department has served in Law Enforcement for the past 11 years, following in the footsteps of his Dad, brother, and brother in...

This is an intro post. Others to follow soon!

But we are grateful for our donors and all those have made this possible. This week we ordered a stadium bullet trap from MGM, and donated it to BYU Police. BYU police is one of our favorites to support because, they work and support so many different agencies. Like other campus departments, they utilize so many different LEOs during events and games and offer tons of great opportunities to agencies around them.

This project will help with training that is far past the regular mandated ones. We can’t wait to see it put to the test.

Did you know firefighters while on their 48 hour shifts are responsible for shopping and cooking for their own meals? Super cool!
Each of the three crews has their very own fridge and freezer to do their meal planing.

We want to say thank you to our amazing community members, especially Sumsion Ranch for donating a steer to the Springville Fire Fighters Local 5439. With the 6 bags (nearly 500 lbs) of local raised beef, all three crews will be able to fill their freezers.
These projects are what help our local first responder teams feel the love from the community!
We had Springville Meat who helped, and got this steer all perfect and ready for them!
We love this community and all of the amazing people at Springville City. Thank you!

If you’d like to support our cause with a financial donation or items for first responders, reach out to us 🙂

We Love Mapleton City Fire Department!

Come support the Mapleton Utah Police Department tomorrow!

**Last Minute Addition – Help Needed!!**

Tomorrow is our open house for those with special needs. Our first responders are looking forward to interacting with the awesome special needs community (both in Mapleton and our friends in surrounding communities). We have several interactive fun games to play, and the food is being picked up today.

But, I want to add a last minute element to the evening, and I need your help to make it happen. The event ends at around 8pm. I am hoping there are some parents, caregivers, or others with expertise in the field of working with special needs that would be willing to stay a bit later to meet with Police and Fire leadership to discuss emergency responses from their perspective. We want to learn from the people who deal with these challenges on a regular basis. It would be a roundtable forum to discuss challenges that you may see or be concerned about. I anticipate it would be a 30-45 minute open forum discussion.

If you are that person, or know someone that may be willing, please email me at [email protected] so I know how many to plan for.

Thank you,

John Jackson
Public Safety Director

This brings us great joy providing the support to not only our team here in Springville, but to also have the chance to work so closely with other organizations and Dr. Tia White on starting a Utah County wide Peer Support program. We were happy to provide the funds needed to get such a program started. Thank you to all who have helped and supported!

Helping first responders handle trauma on the job is taking a step forward today at Brigham Young University.

Great work Springville Police Department! Thank you for keep our city safe and holding the line.
Fun Facts:
Every day of February almost 4 (3.7) people were arrested just in Springville City😮
Another fun fact is Springville officers on a volunteer basis fill Utah State DUI shifts. Every month thanks to our City and Department Administrators they receive grants (extra shifts) which serve two amazing purposes, one they give officers dedicated shifts to just looking for DUI’s. and two, officers can volunteer to get hours. We thank those officers who spent extra time outside of their normal patrol to help!

Welcome to our organization! This foundation is designed and created to support and financially back the already great first responder communities around us. Specifically created in the great City of Springville, along side our wonderful city and agency administration. The Springville First Responders Foundation is a separate entity to that of any government organization. We are just a few local community members who have gathered together to help where we can.
We have been unanimously supported in our creation and launch of this foundation by our local cities and first responder agencies. We work closely with them to find the highest and best use of our funds, and where we can lift and support as needed. This foundation is volunteer only and no proceeds or funds can be used for any members of the organization.

A little about where we are from and what we have been doing. Peer support programs are newer to Utah State. Our aim is to assist in providing additional funds to first responders peer support programs. To help their health, both mental and physical, and to help as we can as a community to increase their job satisfaction as they serve and protect those we love. Our first responders are called to see the worst of the worst, to hold the line, save lives, and to protect and serve our communities. At Springville and Mapleton, we hope to lead the charge, and rally around ALL of our first responders. As a community we aim to show our support, and our appreciation for all of their sacrifices. The SVFRF and Springville's Peer Support Team has assisted other great agencies in the creation of a Utah County wide peer support program, where first responders of all agencies can gain support, and help from their peers.
We encourage and greatly appreciate donations to help us in our mission. springvillefirstrespondersfoundation.org
