                     Wednesday, September 28, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the 
achievements of one of the 10th Congressional District's bravest 
constituents, Sergeant Tim Bristol of the Berryville Police Department. 
This law enforcement officer's unwavering courage and dedication to 
protecting the community is a noble example of public service. Sergeant 
Bristol deserves the thanks of not only the communities in which he 
serves, but also that of his elected officials.
  Sergeant Bristol began working for the Berryville police department 
in December of 2007. He previously worked for the Glasford Police 
Department in Illinois. Tim is the sergeant for the department as well 
as a field

training officer, general instructor, and speed measurement instructor.
  As the sergeant, Tim routinely makes sure that the department is 
running efficiently and that all officers are current on their required 
training. Maintaining and reviewing training records for compliance is 
a huge task in and of itself, yet Tim still finds the time to 
accomplish so much more and plans for the future of the department. Tim 
is a well-respected supervisor, promotes a professional image of the 
department, and is a confident leader.
  During the past year Tim has spent countless hours in his role as a 
field training officer preparing new recruits and experienced officers 
new to the department for patrol in the community of Berryville. He 
takes this responsibility seriously and always looks for ways to 
improve the way training is delivered to those new to the career or 
department.
  Tim is the right-hand man of the Chief of Police who could not ask 
for a better person to fill that role. It is abundantly clear to the 
Chief that Tim is wholly invested in making the Berryville Police 
Department an example of professionalism and dedication to community 
service. The Chief often wonders if his mind is ever focused on 
anything else aside from moving the department forward, which is a 
testament to his loyalty and dedication. He is truly a deserving 
recipient and a stellar example of a professional law enforcement 
officer.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking 
Sergeant Tim Bristol of the Berryville Police Department for protecting 
and serving the community day-in and day-out.
