                   RECOGNIZING OFFICER CAMERON FLINN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SCOTT PERRY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 6, 2024

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I'm honored to recognize Officer Cameron 
Flinn on earning the status of the 2023 Springettsbury Township 
``Officer of the Year.''
  Officer Flinn began his service with the Department in February 2022. 
After several years' experience in two other agencies, their loss 
clearly was Springettsbury's gain. In his short time serving 
Springettsbury thus far, Officer Flinn is a Department leader in calls 
handled, criminal investigations, and traffic enforcement. In 2023 
alone, he handled 587 incidents, had 277 traffic contacts, investigated 
58 motor vehicle crashes, and executed 136 criminal arrests. He 
frequently welcomes new challenges, and assumes as much responsibility 
as possible to serve our community--all while soliciting additional 
training that resulted in his recent selection as a member of the York 
County Forensics Team.
  In one of many notable incidents, Officer Flinn was dispatched to 
Hollywood Casino at the York Galleria Mall for a subject in cardiac 
arrest. While attending to the individual, responding officers were 
alerted to a second individual also in cardiac arrest on the casino 
floor. Officer Flinn administered lifesaving Naxalone and CPR to both 
individuals, who regained consciousness and were up and talking within 
a half hour.
  While maintaining his high productivity and professional standards of 
conduct, Officer Flinn also excels in the area of community engagement. 
The Department receives myriad Citizen calls commending him and his 
performance of duty(ies), as well as testifying to his friendly 
interactions with them. He's also earned various praise from numerous 
colleagues for his outstanding work. During the holiday season, Officer 
Flinn took the initiative outside of his official duties to organize a 
``Shop With a Cop'' event at a local store; he took note of the 
families that received gifts at the event, and then raised additional 
funds to purchase gifts for those children. His impact on the community 
both in and out of official duty status is exceptional.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm truly grateful, privileged, and honored to recognize 
and commend Officer Cameron Flinn for earning the Springettsbury 
Township Police Department 2023 ``Officer of the Year'' award. His 
tireless, loyal, and dedicated service is the standard by which all 
others should be judged.
