“Millions of men and women serve their neighbors as police officers, firefighters, emergency medical service professionals, and 911 dispatchers,” said Steve Hill, GM’s vice president of U.S. sales, service, and marketing. “… [These] responders deserve the same new vehicle discount we offer members of the military because every single person in uniform helps protect us.”

These include sheriffs, sheriff’s deputies, correctional officers, state troopers, federal law enforcement officers, EMTs/paramedics, 911 dispatchers, and eligible healthcare professionals.

Potential discounts include select lease offers, vehicle purchases below MSRP, and special finance rates when dealing through GM Financial. These apply to new SUVs; crossovers; midsize, light-duty and HD pickup trucks; and passenger and cargo vans from Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC.
This these offers also be combined with other discounts, specials, and rebates (like GM Mobility reimbursement and GM Rewards Cards earnings), so you can save even more money. Complete guidelines on the vehicle discount program for first responders is on the GM first responder program website.

First responders can also get a 15-percent discount on OnStar Safety & Security subscription plans and some Connected Services plans. These services includes automatic crash response, emergency services, roadside assistance, stolen vehicle assistance, turn-by-turn navigation, and unlimited 4G LTE data.
