                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 25, 2016

  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize K-9 Officer Aron 
and his handler, Deputy Matthew Sloan, of the Cayuga County Sheriffs 
Department, for their valiant actions in quickly apprehending and 
securing a high risk suspect who fled police on June 9, 2016.
  The fleeing suspect had attempted to evade police, but thanks to K-9 
Officer Aron's fearless and efficient actions, Deputy Sloan was able to 
apprehend the suspect, and no officers were hurt while working to stop 
the suspect.
  K-9 Officer Aron and Deputy Sloan deserve to be properly recognized 
for their heroic actions and I am honored to pay tribute to them for 
their brave efforts that led to a safe ending of situation that could 
have quickly escalated. Each and every day K-9 Officer Aron and Deputy 
Sloan work tirelessly together to protect our community and I am 
honored to recognize their work.
  I would also like to recognize all K-9 Officers and their handlers 
for the extraordinary work they do across the 24th District. K-9 
Officers approach every situation, no matter how dangerous with 
complete and total confidence and fearlessness to protect their human 
partners. K-9 Officers are an asset to all law enforcement and I am 
proud to recognize them for their service.
