                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 29, 2016

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and 
honor Alicia Jaramillo, a criminal division investigator with the Napa 
County District Attorney's Office. Ms. Jaramillo will honorably retire 
on May 6, 2016 after more than twenty-five years of public service.
  Over her long career, Ms. Jaramillo has served the citizens of both 
Napa and Tulare counties on countless investigations and in assisting 
preparing felony cases for trial. She worked first with the Visalia 
Police Department, and then with the Bureau of Investigation of the 
Napa County District Attorney's Office. Ms. Jaramillo has demonstrated 
her commitment to her work and her clients by earning and maintaining 
several accreditations and certificates in law enforcement. As a full 
peace officer, the District Attorney's Office could rely on Ms. 
Jaramillo to respond to a call around the clock, and she has even 
travelled abroad to help her clients.
  A true Napa County leader, Ms. Jaramillo has worked with many local 
organizations supporting peace officers, women, youth, and the Hispanic 
community. She sits on the board of directors for both Puertas Abiertas 
and the Napa County Hispanic Network, for which she previously served 
as President. In addition to her career accomplishments, her leadership 
has aided the Napa County Peace Officers' Association, the Napa 
Emergency Women's Services, the Woman Peace Officers' Association of 
California, the COPE Family Center, the Napa County Youth and Gang 
Violence Commission, the City of Napa Advisory Council, and the 
California Peace Officers' Memorial. Her service to these associations 
speaks volumes about her character and dedication to improving the 
lives of her neighbors.
  We hope that Ms. Jaramillo will be able to spend time with her family 
in her retirement, including her husband of thirty years, Joe, and her 
three children, Eric, Aaron, and Jasmine.
  Mr. Speaker, Alicia Jaramillo has dedicated her long and remarkable 
career to public service in Napa County. It is fitting and proper that 
we honor her here today, and wish her the best in retirement.
