  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Benton Police Chief 
Kirk Lane's appointment as the new Arkansas Drug Officer. His 
experience and activism truly embody what all states need in the fight 
against illegal narcotics.
  Chief Lane is a graduate of the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training 
Academy and the FBI National Academy.
  After graduation, Chief Lane spent 20 years with the Pulaski County 
Sheriff's Office, where he served as the Captain of Criminal 
Investigations.
  Chief Lane has gone above and beyond his duty in the fight against 
illegal narcotics by participating in many organizations, including the 
Arkansas Drug and Alcohol Coordinating Council, the Arkansas 
Prescription Drug Advisory Board, and the Arkansas Prescription Drug 
Monitoring Board.
  As a recipient of the 2010 Benton Citizen of the Year Award and the 
2012 Marie Interfaith Award, Chief Lane is recognized for his 
exceptional character and devotion to community.
  I'm proud of my friend Chief Lane, who has proven his devotion to law 
and order, and he will be a great addition to Arkansas's Drug 
Enforcement Agency to fight against narcotics and reduce the crime rate
