                       Wednesday, April 18, 2018

  Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sheriff Dudley 
Greene of McDowell County, North Carolina. I would like to express my 
gratitude to Sheriff Greene for 35 years of serving and protecting the 
citizens of Western North Carolina.
  Sheriff Greene began his career with law enforcement in 1983 as a 
Patrol Officer at Newland Police Department in Avery County after 
completing law enforcement training at Mayland Community College. 
Sheriff Greene went on to become the Police Chief at Newland Police 
Department after only two years with the department. He then served as 
a Special Agent with North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement for two 
years before starting as a Detective and Chief Deputy in Avery County 
Sheriff's Office in 1990.
  In 1994, Sheriff Greene began his career with McDowell County 
Sheriff's Office and has faithfully served in various positions over 
his tenure. Prior to becoming Sheriff, he held many important roles, 
including Criminal Investigation Detective, Jail Captain, and Detective 
Captain. As Detective Captain, he was recognized as McDowell County's 
Deputy of the Year by the county commissioners in 2002. Sheriff Greene 
has served as Sheriff of McDowell County since his election in 2008 and 
has successfully handled numerous cases for the people in his 
community.
  Sheriff Greene and his wife Allyson have two children: Mary Beth who 
lives in New York and Julian who is serving in the United States Army. 
Sheriff Greene attends Grace Community Church in Marion, North 
Carolina.
  Through his dedication to the citizens of McDowell County and wide-
ranging involvement in his community, Sheriff Greene has enriched the 
lives of the people he has faithfully served. It is my distinct honor 
to recognize his outstanding work and express the best wishes of the 
people of Western North Carolina to Sheriff Greene on the occasion of 
his retirement.
