                        Friday, January 3, 2020

  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
law enforcement career of California Highway Patrol Captain Dan DeLong, 
who will retire after 29 years of service.
  Captain DeLong graduated from the California Highway Patrol academy 
in March of 1991, spending his first few years in the Central Los 
Angeles, Santa Ana, and Riverside area offices. In August of 2004, 
Captain DeLong was promoted to Sergeant where he was once again 
assigned to the Central Los Angeles area supervising offices in 
Westminster and Riverside, prior to his transfer to the CHP Inland 
Division Investigative Services Unit. Captain DeLong was promoted to 
Lieutenant in January of 2013 becoming the commander of the Morongo 
Basin area, and in 2014 becoming the San Bernardino County Auto Theft 
Taskforce Coordinator. In December of 2017, Captain DeLong was promoted 
to the rank of Captain, becoming the Commander of the Victorville Area, 
where he would finish his career.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I offer my sincere 
congratulations to Captain DeLong for his 29 years of service as a 
member of the California Highway Patrol and wish him an enjoyable and 
relaxing retirement. I thank him for his service and his commitment to 
ensuring the safety and security of our community with hard work, 
dedication, and professionalism.
