  Mrs. BROOKS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Chief Tim 
Green of the Carmel Police Department. For over three decades, Chief 
Green has displayed courage, resilience, and leadership in serving the 
city of Carmel and its residents. During his tenure, Carmel was deemed 
the safest city to raise a child and best place to live in America, 
according to multiple national studies. The people of Indiana's Fifth 
Congressional District are forever grateful for Chief Green' s 
commitment to making the City of Carmel and the wider community of 
Hamilton County a safer, better place to live.
  After graduating from North Central High School, Chief Green earned a 
Bachelor's Degree in Law Enforcement from Calumet College. He then went 
on to graduate from the FBI National Academy in Quantico Virginia, the 
FBI Enforcement Executive Development Seminar, and the Indiana 
Association of Chiefs of Police Executive Leadership Academy. Chief 
Green has served the Carmel Police Department for 35 years. He was 
first hired as a patrolman at age twenty-two. He has served as 
Commander of the Special Investigations Division, Director of the 
Hamilton County Drug Task Force, and was Assistant Chief of Police for 
16 years. In 2011, Mayor Jim Brainard appointed Chief Green to lead the 
Department as Carmel's Chief of Police, where he has served with 
distinction for the last six years.
  Chief Green's commitment to quality police work and professionalism 
on the force has ensured the safety of our citizens, and has made 
Carmel a great place to live and do business. His colleagues have 
described him as a strong leader and great mentor. Chief Green's

ability to lead by example inspires excellence in his fellow officers. 
His leadership has empowered the department to be successful in 
assessing and combatting trends in crime. During his time as Police 
Chief, Carmel's population has greatly increased and the department has 
grown to 113 sworn officers and 25 civilian support personnel and 
continues to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Law 
Enforcement Agencies, an international recognition for professionalism, 
excellence and competence.
  Chief Green's devotion to a career of service to his community is 
invaluable. On behalf of all Hoosiers, I wish to extend a heartfelt 
thank you to Chief Green for his 35 years of service. I wish the very 
best to Chief Green, his wife Brigit, and his two children, Jessica and 
Evan, in his well-deserved retirement and in the next exciting chapter 
of his life.
