Tuesday, August 9, 2022
Mrs. SPARTZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service of Elwood, Indiana police officer Noah Jacob Shahnavaz. Officer Shahnavaz was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on May 18, 1998. After graduating from Fishers High School in 2016, Officer Shahnavaz enlisted in the United States Army, where he served as a Sergeant in the 591st Military Police Company and was awarded the distinguished Air Assault Badge. He was deployed to the Middle East and served in two border missions.
Following his honorable discharge after five years in the Army, Officer Shahnavaz answered the call to service once again and enrolled in the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, joining the Elwood Police Department in August 2021. After less than a year in the force, Officer Shahnavaz was killed in the line of duty on July 31, 2022, making the ultimate sacrifice for his community after a career dedicated to serving others.
The men and women of Indiana's 5th Congressional District mourn Officer Shahnavaz's tragic and untimely loss. As someone who exemplified selfless duty to community and country, he leaves a legacy and example worthy of our highest admiration. Officer Noah Jacob Shahnavaz is a true hero. He will never be forgotten.
