On October 28th, the town of Purcellville observes National First Responders Day, a day dedicated to honoring the brave individuals who serve as police officers and firefighters in the community.
The Purcellville Police Department and Fire and Rescue Services play a crucial role in maintaining the safety and wellbeing of the town’s residents. The police department is known for its community-oriented approach, engaging with residents through various programs.
