Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York’s 24th Congressional District spoke on the House floor during National Police Week to honor two fallen police officers from her district. The officers, Sergeant Thomas A. Sanfratello of the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office and Deputy Cailee Campbell of the Oswego County Sheriff’s Office, were recognized for their service and sacrifice.
Sergeant Sanfratello served as a police officer for 32 years and was twice named officer of the year. He was involved with organizations such as the New York State Sheriffs Association, Stop DWI, and Shop with a Cop. His life ended while responding to a call on March 10, 2024.
Deputy Campbell started her law enforcement career at the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office as a corrections officer before attending the Syracuse Police Academy. She joined the Oswego County Sheriff’s Office in April 2023 as a patrol deputy. She passed away following a T-bone collision on September 25, 2024.
Congresswoman Tenney stated, “During National Police Week, we solemnly honor the memory of Sergeant Sanfratello and Deputy Campbell, who gave their lives in service to our community. Their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten, and we remain forever indebted to them. On behalf of the people of New York’s 24th Congressional District, we offer our deepest gratitude and heartfelt condolences to their families, friends, and loved ones.”
