CONGRATULATING FORMER SHREVEPORT POLICE CHIEF HENRY WHITEHORN
(Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate former
Shreveport Police Chief Henry Whitehorn on being sworn in as the United
States marshal for the Western District of Louisiana. Prior to becoming
the first African American police chief in Shreveport's history,
Marshal Whitehorn served 29 years in the Louisiana State Police,
eventually becoming appointed to the posts of deputy secretary for
Public Safety Services and Louisiana State Police Superintendent by
Governor Kathleen Blanco. Marshal Whitehorn also served 4 years as a
sergeant in the United States Air Force.
I thank Marshal Whitehorn for his many years of public service and
wish him the best as he continues to serve the people of Louisiana in
this new position.
