Wichita County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard

The purpose of the Wichita County Sheriff’s Honor Guard is to serve as a ceremonial unit to the community.  The Honor Guard serves the community by honoring those that have spent their lives serving the community.  The Honor Guard participates in funerals of public officials and those that have served in the community.  The Honor Guard also conducts the posting of the colors and provides the color guard at numerous events each year.  The deputies that serve on the honor guard practice drill and ceremony for hours on end preparing for the events they take part in.  They serve the community with great pride and respect of the duty they bear.
