                  RECOGNIZING DEPUTY QUINTEN L. MIGHT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LARRY BUCSHON

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 12, 2024

  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the lifesaving 
efforts of Deputy Quinten L. Might of the Gibson County Sheriff's 
Office and thank him for his continuing service to his community and 
state.
  Deputy Might grew up in the community that he serves today, attending 
and graduating from Wood Memorial High School in Gibson County. After 
graduation, he enlisted in the United States Army where he served as a 
medic. He continued his record of service when he joined the Gibson 
County Sheriff's Office in 2019 as a correctional officer and was sworn 
in as a deputy in 2021. At only 25 years old, Quinten has proven that 
he is willing and ready to protect and save the lives of those in his 
community, including in four separate incidents since July of 2023.
  One of these lifesaving occasions was on May 24, 2024, when Deputy 
Might and another deputy responded to a personal injury accident 
involving a two-vehicle collision. Upon arrival, Deputy Might came to 
the aid of an individual who was unconscious and not breathing. Despite 
multiple small explosions from the fire of the crash, the two deputies 
moved the victim to safety, and hooked up an AED unit and began two-
person CPR until the individual thankfully regained consciousness, 
ultimately surviving the incident.
  More recently, on August 9, 2024, Deputy Might responded to a 
residence call about a two-year old girl who fell into a swimming pool 
and was unresponsive. As soon as he arrived, Deputy Might called an 
ambulance and quickly moved the child from the backyard to the front, 
during which time he freed up her airway by striking her back, likely 
saving her life.
  I am grateful that we have law enforcement officers like Deputy 
Quinten Might serving our communities today and thank him for his 
service and dedication to Gibson County, and the State of Indiana.
