  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, during National 
Police Week, to honor Probation Officer Tiffany Bishop. Officer Bishop 
was fatally wounded August 31, 2011, during a training exercise at the 
Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, Georgia. At 
the time of her death, she had served the Georgia Department of 
Corrections with distinction for six months.
  Tiffany was born in Waycross, Georgia and attended Union Grove High 
School, where she was president of the drama club. She graduated with 
honors from Georgia State College and University, where she earned a 
bachelor's and Master's degree in criminal justice.
  Officer Bishop was recognized this week on the Capitol steps at the 
31st Annual Peace Officers' Memorial Service.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring this fallen 
officer, and all those who have died in service to their communities.
