September 11 Responder Addresses Sussex Police

Christopher Suprun, a Pentagon 9-11 responder, spent the morning of March 17, 2022, with members of the Sussex Police Department discussing September 11, the impact of coronavirus on public safety, and how public safety responders must be prepared for the next event whether war in Europe, another pandemic, or some other disaster and maintain their own mental wellbeing if they are going to be successful.

“I always enjoy building bridges with responders in other jurisdictions be they across the road or across an ocean,” said Suprun who has lectured to tens of thousands of responders over the past decade.

“COVID-19 has created a terrible burden on us all – which was predictable – and it is time we came together to support our fellow responders whether they are fire, EMS, police, or other disaster responders.”

Sussex Police: One of Many Stops

Suprun was in Brighton and Sussex along with other stops in the United Kingdom speaking to responders from each discipline and organizing humanitarian relief for the people of Ukraine on behalf of The September 11 Foundation.

Christopher Suprun is one of The September 11 Foundation’s founding board members. His past résumé has spanned more than twenty years as a paramedic and firefighter. He has served on numerous career incidents. These include responding to the September 11 attack on the Pentagon.

Suprun’s three decades in community service and public safety has been recognized by many. He has been honored by four states and numerous organizations for his work on September 11 and with pediatric prehospital response.

Suprun still works as a street paramedic. While his initial EMT training and paramedic school was in Virginia, he is a Texas Department of State Health Services certified paramedic and Advanced Coordinator. He also has recently served as a flight paramedic. He is the former Chairman of the EMS for Children National Resource Center Advisory Council.

Suprun is Adjunct Faculty for EMS at Dallas College and previously was an Adjunct Instructor in Emergency Medicine for The George Washington University. He has taught on a wide variety of subjects for public safety agencies across the spectrum. Agencies include regional hospitals, federal law enforcement, Fortune 500 firms, and foreign governments including organizations with similar missions as the Sussex Police.
