              COMMENDING CHANDLER POLICE CHIEF SEAN DUGGAN

  (Mr. BIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BIGGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to commend Chandler Police 
Chief Sean Duggan for recently being named the 2019 Chief of the Year 
by the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police.
  Chief Duggan has served Arizonan communities in law enforcement for 
more than 30 years, following in the footsteps of his father who was a 
New York City police officer. He joined the police force in 1986 when 
he started with the Scottsdale Police Department and also served as a 
member of the Arizona Department of Public Safety's gang and illegal 
immigration task force.
  In an interview 5 years ago, after being selected as Chandler's top 
cop, Chief Duggan said: ``Was I a kid who wanted to be chief? No. It's 
the greatest honor that can be bestowed on me professionally.''
  Mr. Speaker, I say to Chief Duggan: Your service to Chandler has been 
honorable. The citizens of Chandler thank you for your leadership. 
Throughout your career, you have dedicated yourself to protecting our 
liberties and ensuring that criminals are removed from the streets. The 
east valley is privileged to count you as a neighbor, influencer, and 
leader.
  Congratulations on your award. You have earned it.
