                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 22, 2024

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding constituent from my district, Sergeant Michael Wojnar of 
Lower Southampton Township Police Department who is retiring after 27 
years of dedicated service as a law enforcement officer.
  He started his career in 1996 working for Jenkintown Borough and 
Rockledge Borough Police. He attended Bucks County Community College 
for his Associates of Art Degree in Criminal Justice and Political 
Science from 1992 to 1995 and enrolled in the Police Academy at 
Montgomery County Community College in 1995. By June 1997, he joined 
the Lower Southampton Township Police Department.
  For 18 years, Michael served as a valuable asset within the South-
Central Bucks County SWAT team, fulfilling pivotal roles in HAZMAT SWAT 
operations and crisis negotiator. Additionally, he was a member of the 
Lower Southampton Township Police Honor Guard, demonstrating a 
steadfast commitment to excellence in law enforcement.
  During his tenure with Lower Southampton Township, Michael quickly 
rose through the ranks of the police department, promoted to Corporal 
in 2014 and Sergeant in 2018. Michael Wojnar has an array of worthy 
achievements, exemplified by his courageous rescue efforts at the 
Ridgecrest Nursing Home amidst perilous conditions of heat and smoke, 
and his adeptness in providing key information leading to the arrest of 
a serial bank robber.
  Along with his patrol sergeant duties, he was extremely involved in 
accident investigation and reconstruction. While performing these 
responsibilities, he was also at Peirce College getting a Bachelor of 
Applied Science in Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Administration 
in 2021, and earning a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice and 
Corrections from the University of Arizona Global Campus from 2022 to 
2023.

  I express profound gratitude to Sergeant Wojnar for the life of 
dedicated service he has given to our community, district, and country. 
His exemplary character serves as a model of civic stewardship and sets 
a precedent for future generations of law enforcement to emulate. 
Michael's devotion will be greatly missed, but thankfully he has 
continued to serve for the Bucks County Sheriff's Department as Deputy 
Sheriff. I wish to congratulate his service to the citizens of Bucks 
County, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing his future endeavors.
