                      Thursday, November 13, 2014

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Captain Darrin 
M. Moody who is leaving the Fairfield Police Department. After serving 
two years with the Modesto Police Department, Captain Moody was hired 
as a Police Officer with the Fairfield Police Department on September 
5, 1989. As an officer, he worked in various capacities that include 
Patrol, Youth Services, Investigations, Field Training, and Special 
Activity Felony Enforcement. He was promoted to Police Corporal in 1999 
and became a K-9 handler in 2001.
   On December 24, 2004, Captain Moody was promoted to Police Sergeant 
and served in Patrol and Investigations before being promoted to Police 
Lieutenant on December 7, 2007. He was a strong and decisive leader 
which led to him receiving the Manager of the Year award in 2007. As a 
Police Lieutenant, he served as Commander for Patrol, Quality of life, 
and Major Crimes Bureaus, and for the Special Weapons and Tactics 
(SWAT) team.
   As the Police Department experienced changes in leadership and 
command staff, Captain Moody constantly stepped in and assisted City 
management in filling the gaps. Before being officially promoted to 
Police Captain on May 6, 2011, he willingly assumed the Captain's 
position twice and managed Patrol Operations in 2008 and 2010.
   Captain Moody has been a valued employee and leader and his 
commitment to the City and community was evidenced on a daily basis. He 
is commended for his selfless contribution to Fairfield and its 
constituents.
