Motorola Solutions has been serving firefighters for over 80 years with focused innovation and technology that helps save lives. But our commitment to the fire service has always gone beyond just making products. We believe in the importance of supporting advocacy for fire service interests in government regulation and policy making, and also in giving back to the fire service through support for organizations like the Congressional Fire Services Institute, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and many others. Motorola employees each feel that commitment at a personal level, too. We are passionate about our work, and we honor the sacrifices that public safety professionals make every day.

In her career at Motorola Solutions, Cynthia Leighton has not only been an exemplary model for Motorola's commitment to the fire service, but has also brought her own personal passion to her work as Motorola's fire service liaison. Motorola is proud now to join the U.S. Congressional Fire Service Caucus in recognizing Cynthia for her long and exceptional dedication to serving firefighters in her role. On 9 December, the Honorable Mr. Steny H. Hoyer, U.S. representative for Maryland's 5th congressional district, formally recognized Cynthia Leighton's work through his remarks entered into congressional record. An example of Motorola's support and Cynthia's work is well captured in this video about the 2012 NFFF memorial weekend.

We're grateful at Motorola that we had the privilege of working with Cynthia and wish her the best!

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Alan Lopez is the Marketing Director of Public Safety Solutions for Motorola Solutions, Inc.
