                             SHERIFF PRIBIL

  (Mrs. KIRKPATRICK of Arizona asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. KIRKPATRICK of Arizona. My friend, Bill Pribil, presides as 
sheriff over Coconino County in Arizona. For 5 years, Bill has 
successfully navigated the challenges of overseeing law enforcement in 
a very vast and diverse area, all while keeping our community safe.
  Since taking office, Sheriff Pribil has brought a new perspective to 
the job, having initiated a number of programs in the county to reduce 
crime. These programs include the Community Emergency Response Team, 
which provides the community with disaster preparedness and response 
training; the Exodus Program to reduce recidivism by helping prisoners 
overcome substance abuse; and the Leadership in Police Organization 
Program to improve training in his department, which has helped him 
successfully crack down on meth, drugs, and violent crime.
  I congratulate Sheriff Pribil.
