The House Concurrent Resolution honors Timothy McNamara for his exceptional public service in the fields of environmental and municipal law enforcement over a career spanning more than three decades. McNamara began his journey at the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) in 1992, initially working as a temporary underground storage tank inspector before becoming a permanent assistant hazardous materials specialist in 1995. His dedication to law enforcement grew as he transitioned to an Environmental Enforcement Officer (EEO) in 1997, where he played a significant role in high-profile cases, including a fatal hazardous waste explosion that led to felony convictions. Throughout his career, he has tackled various environmental violations, including illegal waste disposal and pollution discharges.

In addition to his work with ANR, McNamara also served as a part-time local police officer in Weathersfield and Springfield, demonstrating his commitment to community safety. He received a Level 2C law enforcement certification from the Vermont Criminal Justice Training Council in 2015, which authorized him to investigate state criminal environmental statutes. As he approaches the conclusion of his exemplary career with ANR in 2025, the resolution expresses the General Assembly's gratitude for McNamara's significant contributions to public service and directs the Secretary of State to send him a copy of the resolution.
