                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 29, 2016

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kim Brown on 
her well-earned retirement from the Grapevine Police Department after 
serving over thirty years with the City of Grapevine, Texas.
  Kim began her service with the City of Grapevine as a library aid and 
assistant where she worked for over three years before beginning her 
long and distinguished career with the Grapevine Police Department. Kim 
started with the Department as an Administration Clerk in 1989 and was 
soon promoted to Administration Division Secretary before eventually 
moving into the Criminal Investigations Division as an Investigative 
Assistant.
  Since the beginning of her tenure in Grapevine, Kim has provided 
outstanding service to her community, which is apparent in the numerous 
commendations she has received while performing her duties. Most 
recently, Kim was awarded a Certificate of Merit in November, 2014, for 
her excellent performance.
  Kim's exemplary work with the Criminal Investigation Division of the 
Grapevine Police Department has had a tremendous effect on the safety 
and security of Grapevine and the surrounding communities. Her legacy 
will leave a lasting mark on the City of Grapevine and the Grapevine 
Police Department for many years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to recognize the contributions Kim has 
made to the City of Grapevine. I ask all of my distinguished colleagues 
to join me in congratulating Kim Brown on her many years of service.
