                         Monday, June 30, 2014

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a loyal 
South Carolinian, Dr. Fredrick M.G. Evans, who has dedicated his career 
to public service in South Carolina.
  In addition to his extensive career in education, he has served as a 
reserve law enforcement officer in Orangeburg County since 2008. Dr. 
Evans was recently awarded, on his 53rd birthday, the National 
Sheriffs' Association Certificate of Merit for his work with the 
Orangeburg County Police Department. During his time with the 
department, Dr. Evans has documented 5,500 hours of law enforcement 
duty ranging from direct patrol, to Reserve Investigator, and security 
detail.
  Dr. Evans received his undergraduate degree from Clark Atlanta 
University and a Masters Degree from the University of South Carolina 
in secondary education. He continued his education and received an 
Ed.D. in Educational Leadership from the University of Sarasota. Dr. 
Evans has been a positive and productive citizen of South Carolina for 
decades.
  As a lifelong member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, a brotherhood 
that we share, Dr. Evans continues to work with students at South 
Carolina State University as Dean of the School of Graduate Studies.
  Dr. Evans was recognized in 2009 as the Orangeburg County Sheriff's 
Office Reserve Deputy of the Year, and in March 2011, he was promoted 
to Lieutenant of the Reserve Deputy Sheriffs.
  National Sheriffs' Association Executive Director Aaron Kennard said 
about Dr. Evans, ``we feel that his valuable contributions to his 
community and to the field of criminal justice and law enforcement 
should be commended.''
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Dr. Fredrick M.G. Evans upon this receipt of his outstanding award from 
the National Sheriffs' Association and for his years of distinguished 
service at South Carolina State University. His dedicated commitment to 
his community and his profession is exemplary, and his contributions 
are incalculable.
