  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sheriff Steve

years of outstanding service and commitment to public safety in our 
community.

into law enforcement as a police explorer at the early age of sixteen.

training unit of San Joaquin County, a position he held until 1990. 
During his tenure, Moore has been in command of each of the major 
divisions in the County Sheriff's Office, including as a Sheriff's 
patrol area commander from 1999 to 2002. There he grew in his capacity 
as a leader, overseeing all private operations. In 2006, he put his 
considerable leadership skills to use and was elected Sheriff in San 
Joaquin County.
  Sheriff Steve Moore earned a Bachelor's Degree in Criminology Law

  In addition to all of this, Sheriff Moore is an active community

Boating and Waterways Commission. Steve Moore and his wife Robyn have 
two children, their daughter Stephanie and son Gregory. Mr. Moore 
enjoys working, traveling, running, dining with friends, and, above

more than 30 years of service and outstanding contributions to San 
Joaquin County as well as our country.
