Congresswoman Kat Cammack Honors Five Inductees at Florida Law Enforcement Officers’ Hall of Fame Ceremony

June 6, 2026

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) joined Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Commissioner Mark Glass for the 2026 Florida Law Enforcement Officers’ Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at FDLE Headquarters, where five of Florida’s most distinguished law enforcement leaders were formally inducted. Following her remarks, Congresswoman Cammack presented each inductee or their family with an American flag flown over the United States Capitol in their honor, along with a challenge coin and certificate of recognition from her office.

“Law enforcement is not simply a profession. It is a calling,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “It is a commitment to run toward danger when others run away. It is a willingness to miss birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and family dinners. And it is a promise made every day to complete strangers: that no matter what happens, someone will answer the call.”

The 2026 class includes:

Assistant Chief Larry Corbin, South Miami Police Department (ret.), whose nearly four decades of service include a Silver Medal of Valor, more than 200 commendations, and a volunteer deployment to New York City to support the NYPD in the days after September 11, 2001.
Sergeant Michael “Mick” McHale, City of Sarasota Police Department (ret.), who serves as National President of the National Association of Police Organizations, representing more than 241,000 sworn officers nationwide.
Sheriff O.L. Raulerson Jr. (posthumous), the only person to date elected sheriff in two different Florida counties, serving Highlands County and Okeechobee County across four decades.
Sheriff J. Harrell Reid (posthumous), who served Hamilton County for nine consecutive terms over 36 years as Florida’s longest-serving sheriff and Dean of Florida Sheriffs.
Chief Daniel Slaughter, Clearwater Police Department (ret.), whose more than 30 years of service included building a Real-Time Operations Center recognized as a national model and pioneering mental health co-response partnerships.

Congresswoman Cammack, who represents Hamilton County, paid special tribute to Sheriff Reid, who passed away in April. Sheriff Reid was first elected in 1988, the year the Congresswoman was born, and she noted she was proud to have worked alongside him and to have called him a friend.

Cammack closed her remarks by thanking the inductees directly: “Thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice. And thank you for helping make Florida the safest, strongest, and greatest state in the nation.”

The Florida Law Enforcement Officers’ Hall of Fame was created by the Florida Legislature in 2014 to recognize and honor law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line for the safety and protection of Florida’s citizens and visitors. Inductees are nominated by the Florida Sheriffs Association, the Florida Police Chiefs Association, the Florida Police Benevolent Association, the Fraternal Order of Police, and the State Law Enforcement Chiefs’ Association, and approved by the Governor and Cabinet. Each inductee’s name is permanently displayed on the Plaza Level of the Florida Capitol.
