                                 ______

                      Wednesday, December 7, 2016

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
accomplishments of Officer Collin Rose of the Wayne State University's 
Police Department, who was tragically lost in the line of duty. The 
Wayne State University Police serve a significant portion of the City 
of Detroit in addition to the university, and Officer Rose performed 
his duties with distinction. The community will miss his courage and 
bravery.
  Officer Rose established a reputation as a kind and caring individual 
dedicated to solving issues in his community. Rose was born and raised 
in Pittsburgh, where he excelled as a standout football player in high 
school. After graduating from Ferris State University in 2010, he began 
his career in law enforcement as an intern for the Springfield Police 
Department in southwest Michigan. He then was hired as a cadet in the 
New Baltimore Police Department, after which he became a police officer 
at the Village of Richland Police Department. Rose then took a position 
with the Wayne State University Police, where he had an outstanding 
record of service and was known for his selflessness and dedication in 
protecting the city of Detroit and its citizens. Rose also served the 
community through his involvement with various charitable causes, 
including the Police Unity Tour, which raises awareness of officers who 
have died in the line of duty.
  Officer Rose's death at a young age is a heartbreaking tragedy. 
Officer Rose embodied the principles of service and duty, and having 
such a promising young man's life cut short is a tremendous loss for 
the law enforcement community and the city of Detroit. His sacrifice 
shows the extraordinary risks that our nation's police face on a daily 
basis, and my heart goes out to his family during this difficult 
period. Officer Rose is a true hero, and it is my hope that his family 
and the community find strength and come together to honor such an 
amazing life in the aftermath of his passing.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in recognizing the 
extraordinary life and

courage of Officer Collin Rose. Rose was a fine young officer who was 
committed to improving the Detroit community, and we honor his life and 
work as the community mourns his passing.
