2nd annual “Desert Knights” Public Safety Gala
The Imperial Valley 9/11 Committee proudly presents the 2nd Annual Desert Knights Public Safety Gala, an evening dedicated to honoring the outstanding officers, firefighters, and public safety professionals who serve our Imperial Valley communities.
Join us as we celebrate the Officers and Firefighters of the Year from public safety agencies throughout the Valley, recognizing their courage, dedication, leadership, and commitment to serving others. The Desert Knights Gala is more than an awards ceremony—it is a night for the public safety community to come together in celebration and appreciation of those who protect and serve our communities every day.
