ISP would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police Officers Dakota Longley and Devin Miller. On September 29, 2026, they received Certificates of Recognition for their exceptional leadership and contributions during the August 18, 2026, search effort in Vermilion County.

After a partially submerged vehicle was located along Illinois Route 49 near 2100 North, their coordination of mutual‑aid volunteers and ability to secure critical resources greatly strengthened the multi‑agency operation led by ISP Troop 7. Their professionalism and expertise ensured the search was conducted safely and thoroughly.

While the outcome was tragic, the swift recovery allowed timely family notifications and supported the ongoing investigation. Thank you, Officers Longley and Miller, for your outstanding service and dedication. Your efforts truly make a difference.
