## Resource

A nine-year-old boy with autism went missing in St. Mary’s County, triggering an all-hands emergency response that brought in state police, aviation, fire, and EMS. Within hours, deputies found him in the water — and Deputy Matthew Camp dove in, swimming to his rescue and pulling him safely to shore. Medics confirmed he’s doing well and reunited him with his family. The Sheriff’s Office shared edited body-cam footage to honor the seamless teamwork that saved the day — a powerful reminder of how critical coordinated emergency response can be.
