                         Tuesday, July 23, 2019

  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today with 
Representative Jared Huffman to honor Hank Schreeder for his service as 
the Santa Rosa Chief of Police and thank him for his commitment to our 
community upon his retirement.
  Chief Schreeder earned a Bachelor of Science in Administration of 
Criminal Justice from California State University Long Beach and a 
Master of Criminal Justice Program from the American Military 
University. He is also a graduate of the California Commission on Peace 
Officer Standards and Training, the Supervisory Leadership Institute, 
and the Command College. In addition, Chief Schreeder was a leader in 
the development of Sonoma County's Family Justice Center and served as 
a member of the Chop's Teen Club Board.
  During his time as Santa Rosa Chief of Police, Chief Schreeder 
increased transparency and worked to balance the needs of the community 
within budgetary limits. Chief Schreeder additionally bolstered 
community engagement by working with various community-based 
organizations to combat homelessness and develop long term solutions to 
the problem. Under Chief Schreeder's instrumental leadership, the Santa 
Rosa Police Department led a coordinated response to the October 2017 
fires, drawing upon hundreds of officers from a mix of agencies to 
evacuate residents, find missing people, and patrol fire areas.
  Madam Speaker, Chief Schreeder is an important member of our 
community and a true public servant. It is therefore fitting and proper 
that we honor Chief Schreeder here today.
