        RECOGNIZING DETECTIVE SCOTT J. WILLIAMS FOR HIS SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 28, 2017

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Detective Scott 
J. Williams, who is retiring from the Moline Police Department. 
Detective Williams has honorably served the people of Moline for the 
past 30 years and he will be greatly missed.
  Detective Williams began his lifelong career in public service in 
1981 as a correctional officer with the Rock Island County Sheriff's 
Office prior to joining the United States Marine Corps, where he served 
with the Department of State in Embassy Security. Upon returning home, 
he continued his education and joined the Moline Police Department in 
1987.
  Detective Williams has served every level of our community with great 
distinction and heart over the past three decades. His impressive 
career has spanned from undercover work with the Quad-City Metropolitan 
Enforcement Group to reduce drugs on our streets, to working as a DARE 
officer in newly created drug education programs. Detective Williams 
has always gone above and beyond to strengthen our community in these 
roles, in addition to being president of the Police Benevolent 
Association.
  Detective Williams has dedicated his career to ensuring public 
safety, and striving to protect and improve the lives of individuals 
within his community. I am confident that he will continue to do just 
that as he joins the United States Marshal's Office at the Scott County 
Federal Courthouse in the next chapter of his career. I am proud to 
have such dedicated civil servants in Illinois' 17th Congressional 
District, and the role he has played in bettering our community will 
not be forgotten.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Detective Williams for his 
commitment to public service and the example he has set for our 
community. I congratulate him again and wish him luck in his future 
endeavors.
