  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sharon 
Jones, who has been a valuable asset to Cape Girardeau County for over 
28 years through her work with the Cape Girardeau County Sheriffs 
Office in the Communications Division. Sharon has shown her dedication 
and commitment to her profession by attending many hours of training on 
Missouri laws, supervisory training, 9-1-1 communications training and 
countless hours of continuing education. Sharon worked as a supervisor 
of the 9-1-1 emergency communications call center, answering emergency 
calls, as well as serving as the TAC officer for Cape Girardeau County 
Sheriffs Office for many years. Sharon personally implemented a number 
of important programs for the community, such as the Sex Offender 
Registration for Cape Girardeau County and the Carry Conceal Weapon 
program.
  During her years of service, Sharon oversaw and maintained high 
standards for the 9-1-1 communications division for the protection of 
our officers and our citizens. Her community recognized her in 2001 
with the Timothy J. Ruopp Award. Her dedication in serving Cape 
Girardeau helped countless residents, and it is my pleasure to 
recognize her efforts and achievements before the House of 
Representatives.
