             HONORING THE SERVICE OF SERGEANT STEVEN RHODES

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to praise Sergeant Steven Rhodes 
for his dedication to public safety in my district.
  Sergeant Rhodes is a 20-year veteran of the Bayonne Police Department 
in Bayonne, New Jersey. He has worked in the Patrol Division, Community 
Oriented Policing Unit, Detective Bureau, and the Juvenile Aid Bureau. 
He has earned a Departmental Valor Award, six commendations, four 
Excellent Police Service Awards, and two Meritorious Police Service 
Awards.
  Yesterday, he was presented the 2019 Freedom Fund Award by the 
Bayonne branch of the NAACP. He has earned this award as much as all of 
the others, and I am proud to call him a resident of the 10th 
Congressional District.
  He has continued to look out for his community through law 
enforcement, but with a community edge, and that is what we need in our 
communities.
