                        Friday, January 10, 2020

  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Brian Hintz 
on his well-earned retirement from the Grapevine Police Department 
after more than twenty years of dedicated service.
  Brian is a hardworking and highly respected Senior Officer at the 
Grapevine Police Department. He has honorably served as an officer in 
the state of Texas since beginning his distinguished career with the 
Midland Police Department in August of 1990. During his time in 
Midland, Brian served as a K-9 officer along with his K-9 partners, Lex 
and Rio.
  In 1999, Brian joined the Grapevine Police Department where he has 
served for more than two decades with the K-9 unit. Attaining the rank 
of Senior Officer, Brian has received numerous recognitions throughout 
his career, including the 2014 Medal of Valor and the 2016 Life Saving 
Award. Furthermore, Brian, along with his K-9 partners Darby and 
Brinkley, have won numerous K-9 competition awards, advancing to the 
United States Police Canine Association Nationals. Brian's commitment 
to service is apparent through these outstanding achievements, and his 
dedication to continuing his law enforcement career is demonstrated 
through the 6,791 training hours that he has accumulated.
  Madam Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the exhaustive work that 
Brian has contributed to the City of Grapevine and the state of Texas. 
I applaud his work and ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me 
in recognizing Senior Officer Brian Hintz for his many years of 
service.
