KEITH BISHOP, BRONCOS LEGEND AND STAFF
The Denver Broncos are proud to nominate Broncos' legend (offensive lineman, 1980-89) and current Vice President of Security, Keith Bishop, for the Salute to Service Award in recognition of his commitment to honor, empower and connect service members, veterans and their families. After his retirement from a ten-year NFL career, Keith worked in federal law enforcement as a special agent for the United States Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration for 20 years. He was assigned as the DEA Assistant Regional Director/Assistant Special Agent in Charge and Country Attache at the DEA office in Kabul, Afghanistan (2008-2012). In his current role, Keith maintains working relationships with local, state and federal law enforcement as well as fire departments, emergency response personnel, military and the intelligence community to help safeguard the Broncos organization and enhance security training opportunities. His personal support for the military reaches far into the community, as Bishop supports military-serving organizations including Freedom Service Dogs (FSD) and the Center for American Values. FSD transforms lives by providing custom-trained service dogs to assist veterans, first responders and active-duty service members who have post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and loss of limbs or mobility due to combat-related injuries. The Center for American Values' mission is to honor the sacrifices made by civilians and veterans alike to help sustain America's values of honor, integrity and patriotism. Bishop is a committed board member for the center and was a featured speaker for the On Values speaker series in February of 2024. For these reasons and more, Keith has earned the Broncos' nomination for the 2024 Salute to Service Award.
