Three years ago today, Officer Jessica Ebbighausen answered her final call. On July 7, 2023, our community lost a hero, a friend, a colleague, and a beloved member of the Rutland City Police Department. While time continues to move forward, there is not a day that passes that Jessica is not remembered. Today, we pause to honor her life and reflect on the legacy she left behind. We remember her dedication to serving others, her strength in the face of adversity, and the compassion she showed to those she encountered. We remember the laughter she shared, the lives she touched, and the difference she made both in and out of uniform. The badge she wore represented a commitment to something greater than oneself—a promise to stand between danger and those in need. Jessica fulfilled that promise with courage and selflessness, making the ultimate sacrifice in service to her community. Though her watch ended on July 7, 2023, her presence remains woven into the fabric of this department and this city. She is remembered in the stories we tell, the memories we cherish, and the commitment we carry forward in her honor. Today, we remember Officer Jessica Ebbighausen. We remember her service. We remember her sacrifice. We remember her life. And we will never forget. End of Watch: July 7, 2023 Forever in our hearts. Forever in our memory. Forever our sister in blue. #NeverForget #OfficerJessicaEbbighausen #EndOfWatch #HonorTheFallen #RutlandCityPoliceDepartment

Looks like freedom 🎆🇺🇸 A big shoutout 📣 to the whole Fireworks over Rutland crew and our community for coming together and putting this event together and making it happen. This was way cooler than the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding. We said it 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️. To the motorist blasting Firework by Katy Perry on South Main St, thanks for bringing the vibes 🎶. We can report the F.O.R. crew did ignite the light, let it shine, and owned the night because it was indeed the Fourth of July. Happy Fourth Rutland! #fourth #fourthofjuly #Rutland #CommunityFirst #RutlandCityPolice #RutlandVT #taylorswift #wedding
🎆🇺🇸Happy Fourth of July from the Rutland City Police Department! 🇺🇸🎆 As you celebrate Americas birthday, remember: 💥 Keep all of your fingers. 🎇 Leave the fireworks to the professionals. 🍔 Dont burn the burgers. 🚗 If youre drinking, dont drive. ❤️ And try to keep your blood inside your body. ...Because the American Red Cross would much rather collect it the planned way. 😄🩸 Join us for our upcoming Red Cross Blood Drive on Monday, July 7th! Your donation could help save lives—and its a lot less exciting than meeting us because of a fireworks mishap. Enjoy the holiday, look out for your neighbors, and celebrate safely so the only red you see this weekend is on the flag. 🇺🇸 Have a safe and happy Fourth of July from everyone at the Rutland City Police Department! 🚓🎆 #fourthofjuly #fourth #250 #250America #Vermont #LawEnforcement #RutlandCityPolice #CommunityFirst
