Honoring Investigator Michael Theetge of the Chemung County Sheriff's Office upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of the Order of the Blue Heart Award from Wounded Blue

This bill honors Investigator Michael Theetge from the Chemung County Sheriff's Office for receiving the Order of the Blue Heart Award from Wounded Blue. The award recognizes his dedication and service in law enforcement. The bill acknowledges the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers and celebrates their contributions to community safety.

Supporters would highlight this bill as a meaningful recognition of the bravery and commitment of law enforcement officers like Investigator Theetge.
