  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service and 
commitment of Assistant Sheriff Lana Tomlin, who received the Alumni 
Hall of Fame Award from the Victor Valley College foundation on 
February 23, 2019.
  Assistant Sheriff Tomlin is a dedicated public servant who has worked 
for the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department for over twenty-nine 
years. Soon after her graduation from the San Bernardino County 
Sheriffs Department Training Academy, Assistant Sheriff Tomlin was 
assigned to the Barstow Station as a patrol deputy where she quickly 
excelled in her duties while simultaneously attending Victor Valley 
College. She is the first woman in the history of San Bernardino County 
to be appointed to Assistant Sheriff and oversees several departments 
and operations. Locally, Assistant Sheriff Tomlin has served multiple 
assignments at different High Desert stations, including serving as 
Captain of the Apple Valley Sheriffs Station. She has also volunteered 
throughout the community, from coaching the women's basketball team at 
Victor Valley College to giving back to our next generation through the 
Police Activities League program.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I would like to 
congratulate Assistant Sheriff Lana Tomlin on this award. Lana is an 
exemplary law enforcement officer and community leader. I thank her for 
her years of dedication and service to the people of San Bernardino 
County.
