                     HONORING OFFICER SCOTT HEWELL

  (Mr. McNERNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McNERNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
service of Scott Hewell, a police officer in Stockton, California, who 
died as a result of injuries in the line of duty.
  On May 28, Officer Hewell and his partner were headed to assist 
another officer with an armed suspect when their car crashed. Both 
officers sustained serious injuries, and Officer Hewell, sadly, died on 
June 11.
  Only 33 years old, Officer Hewell was a graduate of San Francisco 
State University and joined the Stockton Police Department in September 
2012. He was well-liked on the force. He trained at the Sacramento 
Police Academy and worked with the Sacramento Sheriff's Department.
  Officer Hewell was the 11th officer to die in the line of duty in 
Stockton, the first since 1993. Our law enforcement officials risk 
their lives every day to work to protect ours.
  Our community mourns the loss of Officer Scott Hewell, and our 
thoughts and prayers are with his family. I ask my colleagues to 
remember Officer Hewell and all the fallen officers and to thank our 
first responders for their service.
