              RECOGNIZING CHIEF OF POLICE CHARLES R. JONES

  (Mr. ROTHFUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Beaver Falls 
Chief of Police Charles R. Jones on his retirement after decades of 
outstanding service to his community and to our Nation.
  After serving his country in the Air Force, which included time at 
the 911th Airlift Wing in Pittsburgh, Chief Jones embarked upon a 
career in law enforcement.
  He is a graduate of both Municipal Police Officers' Training Academy 
and the Pennsylvania Deputy Sheriff's Training Program in Carlisle, 
Pennsylvania.
  He started with the city of Beaver Falls Police Department in 1994, 
and by 2008, he was chief of police. In October of 2011, the Pittsburgh 
FBI field office chose Chief Jones to join with other U.S. and 
international law enforcement leaders at the FBI National Academy in 
Quantico, Virginia, for professional studies.
  A recipient of numerous awards, a man of faith, and a true leader, I 
thank Chief Jones for his service. In thanking the chief, I would be 
remiss in not also recognizing his wife Regina, who has also been a 
great advocate for her community.
  Although the chief is retiring, I fully expect he will continue his 
service to his community in multiple endeavors in the years to come.
