                      Wednesday, September 6, 2017

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding law 
enforcement career of Timothy W. Tompkins, who will retire from his 
position as the Assistant Chief of Protective Services Division for the 
California Highway Patrol on September 30, 2017. Born and raised in 
Minnesota, Assistant Chief Tompkins graduated from the California 
Highway Patrol Academy in 1989.
  Assistant Chief Tompkins served in a variety of capacities during his 
career, including Field Training Officer, Drug Recognition Expert, 
Special Response Team Commander, and member of the Governor's 
Protective Detail. Most notable for me was the time he spent as the 
Area Commander for the Morongo Basin, a region that I call home. 
Assistant Chief Tompkins was an integral part of our community and 
represented the highest values of the California Highway Patrol.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I would like to thank 
Assistant Chief Tompkins for his 29 years of service to the citizens of 
California. His professionalism and dedication to the profession of law 
enforcement reflects great credit upon himself and the California 
Highway Patrol.
