RECOGNIZING THE HONORABLE JUDGE CRAIG TREBILCOCK UPON HIS RETIREMENT
FROM THE YORK COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
______
HON. SCOTT PERRY

Tuesday, October 12, 2021
Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize The Honorable Craig Trebilcock following the conclusion of his ten-year term of service in December 2021, with the York County Court of Common Pleas. In coordination with the York County Wellness Court Mentors, I'm proud to recognize Judge Trebilcock's faithful service to our Country, York County Veterans, and the rule of law.
Judge Trebilcock was born in 1960, in Muskegon, Michigan, and is a graduate of the University of Michigan and its Law School, in addition to the U.S. Army War College. He went on to serve our Country for 30 years in uniform with the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserve, and was deployed to the Balkans in U.S. peacekeeping efforts, in Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2004), and Operation Freedom Sentinel in Afghanistan (2015-2016), before his retirement at the rank of Colonel. During his three decades of uniformed service, he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for Valor, the Bronze Star and the Legion of Merit.
Judge Trebilcock's career in law in our communities began as a civil litigator and immigration attorney from 1991 to 2011, before serving as the President of the York County Bar Association prior to his election to the Common Pleas Court in 2011. During his time as a civil litigator and immigration attorney, he litigated cases on behalf of Chinese refugees from the ship, Golden Venture, between 1993 and 1997, and was an advocate for a York family in their fight against an extremist group in Kansas who disrupted the funerals of our Service Members who were Killed in Action.
During his tenure with the Common Pleas Court, Judge Trebilcock founded the York County Veterans Treatment (now ``Wellness'') Court in 2012, which assists Veterans with adjusting to post-military life by helping to address the risk of incarceration and substance abuse. Judge Trebilcock leads the team--court officers, VA counselors, and mentors--
to provide genuine support to Veterans in need. The program ranges from 20 to 30 Veterans enrolled and helps them rebuild their lives and strengthen our community.
For his decades of service to the United States and to the County of York, Pennsylvania, I am privileged to have the opportunity to honor Judge Trebilcock, congratulate him on his retirement, and wish him Godspeed in his future adventures.
