The resolution honors Silas R. Loomis for his remarkable over fifty-year tenure as the First Constable of Castleton, Vermont, a role he began in 1972. Loomis, a lifelong resident of Castleton, was inspired by his father's belief in civic duty beyond just paying taxes. His service is notable for its longevity, making him one of the longest-serving law enforcement officers in the town's history. Throughout his career, he engaged with the community in unique ways, such as conducting summer patrols on a motorcycle and providing critical support during emergencies, including rescuing individuals from dangerous situations and assisting in roadside deliveries.

In addition to his role as First Constable, Loomis has held various positions in law enforcement, including serving as Castleton's Chief of Police and working with multiple sheriff's departments and police departments in the region. His commitment to public service extends beyond law enforcement; he is a veteran of the U.S. Navy and Army National Guard, with a total of 40 years of military service. The resolution concludes by recognizing Loomis's dedication and loyalty to his community, and it directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to him and the Castleton town clerk.
