          BY  OURTH, HAGENOW, SMITH, BALTIMORE, and BAUDLER
  1  1 A Resolution honoring the Iowa State Patrol and
  1  2    recognizing Iowa State Trooper Joseph William Long's
  1  3    meritorious service.
  1  4    WHEREAS, on February 18, 2016, Iowa State Trooper
  1  5 Joseph Long was stationed at the west checkpoint of the
  1  6 Iowa State Capitol Building when he was dispatched to
  1  7 Room G02 to respond to a report of an individual who
  1  8 had collapsed; and
  1  9    WHEREAS, upon arriving on the scene at 10:06 a.m.
  1 10 and noticing an adult male lying on the floor with
  1 11 blood coming from the back of his head, Trooper Long
  1 12 immediately called for rescue, determined the victim
  1 13 had no pulse, and began performing cardiopulmonary
  1 14 resuscitation (CPR); and
  1 15    WHEREAS, as a trained and certified emergency
  1 16 medical technician, Trooper Long followed through with
  1 17 a series of chest compressions and related procedures
  1 18 that revived the victim, who has since made a full
  1 19 recovery; and
  1 20    WHEREAS, the Iowa House of Representatives stands
  1 21 in honor of the Iowa State Patrol and its commitment
  1 22 to excellence, and its many brave public servants who,
  1 23 like Trooper Long, exemplify everything for which the
  1 24 Iowa State Patrol has proudly stood since 1935: honor,
  1 25 integrity, courage, and undaunted service to the people
  1 26 of Iowa; NOW THEREFORE,
  1 27    BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
  1 28 That Iowa State Trooper Joseph William Long deserves
  2  1 commendation from the people of Iowa for meritorious
  2  2 service in the line of duty resulting in the saving of
  2  3 a human life.
