                          TRIBUTE TO GARY DENT

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Gary Dent of Pondera County for his over 42 years of 
service in law enforcement.
  Gary Dent was born and raised in Miles City. After high school and 
college, Gary discussed entering the police force with a family friend, 
and from there, he began his career in law enforcement. After 11 years 
of serving around Montana, he landed in the Conrad City Police 
Department where he spent over 30 years as their police chief. He and 
his wife have one son named GR.
  Gary's passion for his job is clear; yet it is his passion for the 
community that sets him apart. While serving as police chief, he filled 
his spare time by serving Conrad in any way he could, including by 
spending time coaching middle school and high school sports teams.
  Gary's legacy in the Conrad City Police Department will survive long 
after his retirement. His favorite part of serving in law enforcement 
was the interaction with folks in the community, and that did not go 
unnoticed. He impacted many around Conrad and the greater Pondera 
County community. I congratulate Gary on a career well spent, and I 
wish him the best of luck in retirement.
