  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Brazoria County 
Sheriff Charles Wagner in celebration of the 50th anniversary of his 
service as a law enforcement officer.
  Sheriff Wagner joined the Freeport Police Department in 1967. He has 
worked as a patrol officer, patrol sergeant, detective sergeant, 
detective lieutenant and Chief of Detectives. He also served as the 
Chief Deputy from 1985 until taking office as Sheriff in 2005. As 
Sheriff of the oldest Sheriffs' Office in the State of Texas, he has 
been an integral part of keeping the Brazoria County community safe. 
Our law enforcement officers risk their lives each and every day to 
protect our communities. Sheriff Wagner exemplifies the leadership and 
service that makes Brazoria County a great place to live, work and 
raise a family. We thank him for his service and 50 years of 
exceptional leadership.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
wanted again to thank Sheriff Wagner for his dedicated public service. 
All of Brazoria County has benefitted from his commitment to safety and 
we thank him. Congratulations on 50 years, Sheriff.
