Members of the NDCS Honor Guard represented the agency at the 9/11 Blue Mass on September 11, 2019 at the Cathedral of the Risen Christ in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The tradition of the Blue Mass originated in New York in 2002 to honor the men and women who gave their lives trying to save civilians during the September 11 terrorist attack the previous year. The name comes from the blue uniforms traditionally worn by police officers.

The ceremony honors all active, deceased and retired law enforcement, fire and rescue, as well as corrections personnel who have and continue to perform their duties with distinction every day. NDCS is proud to be part of this annual tradition.
