recognizing Officer Brandon Murphy for the service he has provided to 
Michigan's Fifth Congressional District and the Bay City community.
   Brandon Murphy is a recipient of the Police Officers Association of 
Michigan's (POAM) Police Officer of the Year Award. This honor was 
awarded following an encounter where Officer Murphy was injured by 
gunfire while successfully managing to apprehend a suspect and stop a 
violent crime spree. Officer Murphy's personal dedication to public 
safety at the cost of his own safety deserves the utmost honor, and a 
Police Officer of the Year Award is a worthy and deserving recognition 
for such an exemplary officer.
   It is my honor to represent such brave and honorable members of our 
community, and Officer Brandon Murphy is a shining example. The true 
measure of an exemplary public safety officer was exhibited by Officer 
Murphy when he sacrificed his own wellbeing in order to prevent the 
further victimization of the community he serves.
   Mr. Speaker, I applaud the work done by Officer Brandon Murphy and 
thank him for the service he has provided to our community.
