         HONORING VILLAGE OF PINECREST POLICE OFFICER VERNA GAY

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Officer 
Verna Gay, who was recently named Officer of the Third Quarter of 2015 
of my hometown Village of Pinecrest Police Department.
  During one particular incident earlier this year, Verna showed 
brilliant situational awareness in helping to investigate the burglary 
of a local business. Responding to the scene as a backup, Verna's 
proactive efforts led to the capture and arrest of two subjects who 
were involved in the crime.
  I commend Officer Gay for her impressive actions in support of the 
safety of the people of my hometown, the Village of Pinecrest. Verna's 
continued dedication and service help make sure our hometown remains a 
safe place in which to live, raise a family, and conduct business.
  Congratulations once again to Officer Verna Gay on this well-deserved 
honor.
