sion of his designation as the recipient of a Superintendent's Commenda-
tion Award at the 37th Annual New York State Police Awards Day Ceremony
on May 16, 2013

WHEREAS, The quality and sanctity of community life are cherished
values, worthy of safeguarding; this Legislative Body is moved to honor
those who preserve and protect such values, lauding particularly their
unwavering courage and dedication in the daily performance of their
duties; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Trooper Keith Slevinski, of Troop F in Monroe, New York, upon the occa-
sion of his designation as the recipient of a Superintendent's Commenda-
tion Award; and
WHEREAS, A Trooper since December 1, 2008, he will receive the award
in recognition of his outstanding police work at the 37th Annual New
York State Police Superintendent's Commendation and Awards Day Ceremony,
to be held at the New York State Police Academy in Albany on Thursday,
May 16, 2013; and
WHEREAS, On August 17, 2012, Troop F received a complaint about a 15
year old runaway; on August 18, 2012, the State Police Monroe BCI was
able to obtain a Subpoena from the Orange County District Attorney's
office to go through the girl's computer; and
WHEREAS, Trooper Keith Slevinski, Troop F's Cyber Crime Specialist,
performed a content check of the PC to review files for possible leads;
although minimal information was recovered, some images were recovered
and stored in the zip drive for review; and
WHEREAS, Pictures and texts from her Ipod were on the PC and also
retained; subsequent to a further search of the computer files the Troop
F Computer Crimes Unit was able to locate and identify an individual who
may have assisted the juvenile in running away; and
WHEREAS, On August 24, 2012, the girl was located from the IP address
and was found in the basement of a Michigan home, where a man was hold-
ing her captive in a cage; the man holding her was determined to be the
man who had assisted her in running away and was arrested on Michigan
State charges with Federal and New York charges pending; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Trooper Keith Slevinski upon the occasion of his designation as
the recipient of a Superintendent's Commendation Award at the 37th Annu-
al New York State Police Awards Day Ceremony on May 16, 2013; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Trooper Keith Slevinski.
