                        TRIBUTE TO TONY HARBAUGH

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Sherriff Tony Harbaugh of Custer County for his tremendous 
impact on the State of Montana.
  In early October, Sheriff Harbaugh was awarded the Montana Board of 
Crime Control Lifetime Achievement Award at the 12th Annual Montana 
Crime Prevention Conference in Billings.
  Harbaugh began his career at the Custer County Sheriff's Office in 
1978 as the only jailer. He was then officially sworn in as a deputy 
with the sheriff's office in May of 1979. Harbough quickly climbed the 
ranks and was officially elected as Custer County Sherriff in 1986, 
holding that title until today.
  Throughout his long career in law enforcement, Harbaugh has served in 
a number of leadership positions in law enforcement. Currently, 
Harbaugh is the Montana law enforcement representative on the Western 
States Sheriff's Board, chairman of the Peace Officers Standards and 
Training Council, chairman of the Eastern Montana Drug Task Force, and 
is the National Sheriffs liaison for Montana Sheriffs and Peace 
Officers Association.
  It is my honor to recognize Sherriff Harbaugh for his extraordinary 
dedication to public service and public safety. His role as leader in 
the law enforcement community has made Montana a better place to live, 
and I am grateful for his selfless service to the Custer community and 
Montanans statewide.
