                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 4, 2019

  Mrs. TORRES of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor my 
constituent, Chief Karen Comstock of the Chino Police Department. After 
almost 35 years of public service and dedication to the Chino 
community, she is finally retiring and will be sorely missed.
  Chief Comstock honorably rose through the ranks of the Chino Police 
Department. Beginning her career in 1985, she served as a cadet and 
reserve officer for five years before being brought on as an official 
police officer. Comstock held many other positions including field 
training officer, patrol supervisor, and detective bureau supervisor, 
as well as serving at the Criminal Investigations Bureau as a detective 
and as a member of the Crisis Negotiations Team.
  In recognition of her excellent leadership, Comstock was promoted to 
Chief in 2014. She served as Chino Police Department's first female 
police chief and is now retiring as one of only 22 female police chiefs 
in California. Chief Comstock not only established standards of 
excellence, but also carved out new pathways for future female leaders 
in the Chino Police Department.
  Chief Comstock was not only a leader within the Chino Police 
Department, but also served a mentor in the community, committing more 
than 14 years to Chino Police Department's Explorer Program to assist 
young adults with entering law enforcement careers.
  She has left a lasting mark on the Chino Police Department. As a 
lifelong citizen of Chino, she has demonstrated bravery, dedication and 
loyalty to her hometown and profession--earning her the esteem of the 
men and women of the Chino Police Department and the community at 
large.
  For her remarkable accomplishments, it is my honor to recognize Chief 
Karen Comstock on the House floor today. Her decades of commitment and 
contributions to the City of Chino are worthy of admiration.
