                        Thursday, March 5, 2020

  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
longtime law enforcement officer Barry Stanley, who retired this past 
Friday as Chief of Police in Ayden, North Carolina. Chief Stanley 
attended Pitt Community College for his law enforcement training, 
graduating in 1993. He has served several Eastern North Carolina 
communities during his career including Grifton, Bethel and Ayden. His 
service actually began in his youth with the explorer's post at the 
Lenoir County Sherriff's Department.
  Chief Stanley has long been passionate about helping those who are 
victims of crime, especially the elderly. He feels helping those who 
cannot speak for themselves is the most important part of his job. 
Chief Stanley is a great leader who leads with fairness and integrity, 
earning the trust of his team. He has the respect of the men and women 
under his command, but they also consider him a friend. He will 
definitely be remembered as a chief who made a difference.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring the legacy of this brave 
and patriotic man who has served Eastern North Carolina for 27 years. 
May we always keep our dedicated police officers and service members 
treasured in our hearts and constantly in our prayers for their service 
to God and country.
