                             HON. PAUL COOK

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 27, 2018

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Michael Visser who 
will receive the Distinguished Education Service Award from the Victor 
Valley College Foundation on February 24, 2018.
  Michael was selected for this award by the foundation because of his 
commitment to encouraging his students to pursue careers in law 
enforcement. After retiring from three decades in law enforcement, 
Michael began teaching courses at VVC and was instrumental in opening 
the Regional Public Safety Training Center on campus. He also played a 
vital role in assisting the VVC Campus Police Department in obtaining 
new firearms and improved training. He has gone above and beyond in 
supporting the campus by facilitating emergency drills such as ``The 
Great Shakeout'' and ``Active Shooter Training.'' Michael's passion for 
giving back to his students is evident in everything he does.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I would like to 
congratulate Michael Visser for his tireless effort on behalf of his 
students at VVC. Undoubtedly, he is well-deserving of the Distinguished 
Education Service Award.
