  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I want to take a moment to represent one of 
the great public servants in the northwest Bronx who day after day 
works hard to keep our community safe.
  Detective Migdaha Ramos, better known to all of us as Mindy, was born 
and raised in Manhattan. She attended Fashion Industry High School and 
upon graduation, worked in the retail and fashion industry. In July of 
1998, Mindy started on a new path as a member of the New York Police 
Department. She was appointed to the 50th Precinct following her 
completion of the Police Academy, and has for the last 18 years 
honorably served the community there in different assignments
  Detective Ramos started as a Uniform Patrol Officer, answering 911 
radio calls and addressing community concerns. Shortly thereafter, she 
was assigned to the Domestic Violence Unit. For the next seven years, 
she would conduct investigations, arrest violent perpetrators, and 
assist victims in receiving appropriate services.
  In 2007, Detective Ramos had the pleasure of being assigned as the 
Precinct Community Affairs Officer, the position she still holds to 
this day. Since then, she has established a great working relationship 
with the elected officials, business district, community board, and 
various other entities that serve the community. She also has a 
wonderful rapport with the residents of the northwest Bronx, which is 
why in December of 2015, she was promoted to Detective.
  I have always been impressed with Detective Ramos's commitment to the 
neighborhood and her responsiveness to the needs of the community. I 
know when it comes to my office it has been a true pleasure working 
with her.
  This year, the Kingsbridge-Riverdale-Van Cortlandt Development 
Corporation is honoring Detective Ramos at their annual Greenway Gala. 
They have chosen a most deserving honoree. I want to congratulate 
Detective Ramos on this great honor and thank her for all she has done 
to improve and strengthen our neighborhood.
