Honoring Cental Texas First Responders

Blessing of the Badges is a heartfelt gathering that unites faith leaders, community leaders, and first responders from across Central Texas in a shared moment of gratitude and reflection.

Together, we honor and bless the men and women who serve with courage and compassion, dedicating their lives to protecting our communities every day. 

This special event offers an opportunity to pause, give thanks, and stand in solidarity with those who wear the badge – and the families who stand behind them.

2025 Honoree: Captain Amber Price

Each year, CTPSC honors an outstanding first responder with the Blessing in Action Award, recognizing exceptional leadership, service, and impact on the community.

This year, the award was presented to Austin-Travis County EMS Captain Amber Price, who created the Pop-Up Resource Clinic (PURC) to assist individuals experiencing homelessness. Her work has earned national recognition and inspired programs across the country. 

Captain Price exemplifies the dedication, compassion, and leadership this award celebrates.
