BY: Senator OBERACKER
 
        HONORING  Deputy  Mark Hamilton and Detective Matt
        Barcak in recognition of  their  prompt  and  heroic
        actions in saving the lives of two individuals after
        their  vehicle  crashed  and  landed in the Chenango
        River
 
  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize  and
honor  those  distinguished  officers  and  citizens  who  would  devote
themselves to public service, demonstrating great courage and  diligence
in  providing  for  the  care  and  welfare  of  the  citizens  of their
communities and this great Empire State; and
 
  WHEREAS, Within every community of the State of New York  there  are
certain  individuals  who, by virtue of their commitment and dedication,
command  the  respect  and  admiration  of  their  community  for  their
exemplary contributions and service on behalf of others; and
 
  WHEREAS,  This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Deputy Mark
Hamilton and Detective Matt Barcak in recognition of  their  prompt  and
heroic  actions  in  saving  the  lives  of  two individuals after their
vehicle crashed and landed in the Chenango River; and
 
  WHEREAS, On the morning of May  5,  2023,  Broome  County  Sheriff's
Deputy Mark Hamilton and Detective Matt Barcak responded to reports of a
vehicle in the Chenango River off Interstate Route 88; community members
near  the  accident  reported  a  male  and  female on the roof of their
vehicle as the high and swift current carried it down river; and
 
  WHEREAS, The driver and passenger of the vehicle were able to escape
the sinking vehicle and climb onto the roof; as the  vehicle  completely
submerged, both attempted to swim to shore; the passenger of the vehicle
was able to make it to shore, while the other was swept further down the
river; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Deputy Mark Hamilton spotted the driver of the vehicle and
immediately acted with unquestionable bravery, jumping into the high and
swift currents of the river to successfully bring the  citizen  back  to
shore; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Responding  quickly  under  pressure, Deputy Mark Hamilton
along with Detective Matt Barcak immediately began CPR on the victim and
continued until EMS arrived, saving the young man's life; and
 
  WHEREAS, Through their heroic  actions,  Deputy  Mark  Hamilton  and
Detective  Matt  Barcak  demonstrated their character and compassion for
the welfare of others, personifying the  collective  concern  of  public
servants  across the community of the State of New York who respond when
others are in need of help; and
 
  WHEREAS, It is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  those
extraordinary  individuals  who  unselfishly  devote  their lives to the
preservation of order and the protection of others are  worthy  and  due
 
full praise for their commitment and noble endeavors; now, therefore, be
it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Broome County Sheriff's Deputy Mark Hamilton  and  Detective  Matt
Barcak in recognition of their heroic actions on May 5, 2023, noting the
significance  of  their selfless contributions which are in keeping with
the highest traditions of the Broome County Sheriff's Department; and be
it further
 
  RESOLVED, That copies of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted   to  Broome  County  Sheriff's  Deputy  Mark  Hamilton  and
Detective Matt Barcak.
