                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 8, 2014

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Corporal Jeff 
Paul of the Southlake Police Department in Southlake, Texas. Corporal 
Paul was honored yesterday, September 7th, by the Southlake Baptist 
Church during a special service for first responders. His years of 
selfless service, at times in the face of personal adversity, 
demonstrate his being an outstanding officer and citizen.
  Corporal Paul was raised near Chicago but has lived in northeast 
Tarrant County, Texas, for 27 years. Paul began his career in law 
enforcement as a Police Explorer in the early 1980s and then quickly 
became a Public Safety Dispatcher. In 1983, he joined the Southlake 
Department of Public Safety and, after briefly being a Reserve Police 
Officer, became a full-time Police Officer. He helped implement the 
Southlake Police Department's first traffic division in 1989. Later on, 
in 2002, Paul became a Warrant Officer and Bailiff in the Southlake 
Municipal Court, and he continues to serve in that role.
  In his time with the Southlake Police Department, Corporal Paul was 
trained as an accident reconstructionist and an Intoxilyzer operator. 
He is a graduate of the School of Police Supervision at the Institute 
for Law Enforcement Administration and has earned his Master Peace 
Officer Certification.
  Paul is married with two sons and one grandson, and he thoroughly 
enjoys attending Dallas Stars hockey games as his favorite pastime.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all of my distinguished colleagues to join me in 
honoring Corporal Jeff Paul for his career of service and sacrifice.
