Safety. His leadership has been a benefit to Wisconsin law enforcement 
and is an excellent example of service to the community.
  Chief Dunning is an exceptional public servant. A graduate of the FBI 
National Academy class 237, he has dedicated his entire professional 
life to upholding the law. Starting as an officer with the Ashwaubenon 
Department of Public Safety in 1994, Chief Dunning rose the ranks to 
lieutenant and then commander before he took the oath as chief in 2007. 
Through all these positions, he exemplified a steadfast commitment to 
providing superior service and protection to the community.
  Chief Dunning's career is highlighted by endless community outreach 
and volunteerism. From the Santa Ride with the Fire Truck to Shop with 
a Cop, his involvement has gone above and beyond his required duties. 
He served as president of the Brown County Chiefs of Police Association 
and served on the Board of Directors for the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police 
Leadership Foundation. He will forever be remembered as a positive role 
model and friend to the community.
  Chief Dunning served with diligence, selflessness, and bravery 
throughout his law enforcement career. The greater Green Bay community 
is fortunate to have officers like him who exemplify their oath to 
serve and protect. I am proud to represent men and women with such 
commitment to their communities and our country.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all members of this body to join me in thanking 
Chief Dunning for his service and dedication to protecting our 
community. I congratulate him on an exceptional 25-year career with the 
Ashwaubenon Department of Public Safety and wish him well as he marks 
the conclusion of an accomplished career.
