                   IN RECOGNITION OF CHIEF LEE HOWELL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 13, 2018

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the public service of 
Police Chief Lee Howell and thank him for his service to the greater 
Denton Community. Chief Howell has led the Denton Police Department 
since 2011. However, his service to Denton extends throughout his 37-
year law enforcement career.
   Chief Howell has fostered goodwill and civility between the Denton 
Police Department and local political and civic groups, elected 
officials, and the public. As our region grows, he has helped the 
police department expand to meet new needs.
   During his tenure, Chief Howell has been responsible for enforcing 
the law, keeping the peace, and maintaining the safety of citizens. He 
has overseen the biannual Denton Police Academy that produced trained 
officers who now serve throughout the North Texas region.
   It is my great privilege to recognize Chief Howell for his service, 
leadership, and commitment to excellence. Chief Howell's expertise and 
leadership will be missed by the greater Denton community. On behalf of 
the 26th District, I congratulate him as he starts a new leadership 
role as Chief of Police in Saginaw, Texas.
