  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Police 
Corporal Gordon Morse for his many years of service to the Dearborn 
Police Department. Corporal Morse recently retired after twenty-five 
years of exemplary work with the department.
  Corporal Morse began his service at the Dearborn Police Department in 
1993. In 2002, he was selected to be a K-9 Officer. During his tenure, 
he has served in a variety of roles including as a field training 
officer, a range officer, explorer advisor, and department chaplain. 
Corporal Morse has represented his department by engaging in 
significant outreach to the Dearborn community through school and 
church demonstrations. He has also served as an instructor for the 
Oakland Police Academy K-9 Training Center for fifteen years. In this 
role, he trained numerous police officers and has created a safer 
environment for everyone in the Dearborn community.
  Corporal Morse served the Dearborn community in various roles for a 
total of twenty-five years. His commitment to protecting the Dearborn 
community has impacted hundreds of his fellow officers and residents. 
His work training officers has been crucial to the continued safety of 
Dearborn, and his outreach efforts have strengthened the relationship 
between his department and the community. His exemplary service stands 
as a role model of the dedication, sacrifice, and commitment of our 
police officers. His dedicated leadership will be missed, but we wish 
him good health and every happiness in his retirement years.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the twenty-
five years of service of Police Corporal Gordon Morse to his country 
and to the Dearborn, Michigan community. His commitment to public 
safety is worthy of commendation.
