Design notes
The badge takes one cut length of the triple trim that every responder wears on a coat or a vest, amber, silver and amber with a stitched edge, and lays it straight across a navy disc. Thank You sits on the silver, First Responders curves over the top in amber, and the year and the organisation's name close the circle below. There is no emblem of a single service, so one badge suits a whole station, a mixed crew or an entire county's emergency services.
About
First Responder Badge Template, Reflective Trim Design
A digital badge is the part of a thank-you that a responder can carry with them. A city council, a hospital, a school or a local business issues it after a hard season, on First Responders Day or after a single call that mattered, and the officer, firefighter, paramedic or dispatcher can pin it to a LinkedIn profile or a department page where anyone can check that it is real.

Subject: Thank you, name, from all of us
Dear name,
The people you help rarely get the chance to thank you, so we wanted to do it properly. Your courage, your skill and your calm when it mattered made our community safer, and we are grateful.
Your certificate of appreciation is ready. Open it to see it, download a copy to print for the station or your home, and share the badge on LinkedIn if you would like others to see it.
With our thanks and respect.

Post for the recipient to share
Most of the time in this job, you do the work and move on to the next call. Today our community took a moment to say thank you, and I received this certificate of appreciation. It belongs to my whole crew and to the dispatchers who got us there. Thank you to everyone who took the time. #FirstResponders #ThankYou
