This Assembly Resolution (A. 985) formally honors Investigator Michael Theetge of the Chemung County Sheriff's Office for being designated as a recipient of the Order of the Blue Heart Award by Wounded Blue, a national organization supporting law enforcement officers injured on duty. The resolution recognizes his 14-year career, leadership as SWAT team commander, role as a training instructor, and recovery from a severe March 2024 on-duty injury (including a fractured skull and brain bleeding) that temporarily postponed his promotion to Sergeant. It serves as a ceremonial commendation expressing the legislature's respect for his dedication to public safety and community service.
