             HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF SERGEANT JON MEADOR

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BETH VAN DUYNE

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 2, 2021

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank Sergeant Jon 
Meador for his service with the Grapevine Police Department and to 
congratulate him on his retirement. His 30 years of law enforcement 
service is incredibly deserving of recognition, and, on behalf of the 
North Texans he has dedicated his career to serving and protecting, I 
am proud to extend my sincere appreciation for his selfless service 
before the House of Representatives.
  I was impressed to hear of Sergeant Meador's background prior to 
joining law enforcement, specifically his experience in the banking 
industry that he utilized to investigate financial crimes in 
conjunction with the FBI, ICE, and the Secret Service. The courage and 
dedication he has displayed during his many years of service in law 
enforcement is admirable and the law enforcement community is better 
for having the benefit of his service and knowledge.
  In these unprecedented times, I know it is a source of comfort for 
North Texans to have law enforcement officers like Sergeant Meador 
working tirelessly to serve and protect us. It has always been my view 
that public service is among the most admirable of callings, one that 
demands the very best among us tackle monumental challenges in the name 
of selfless service to others. Sergeant Meador's incredible service to 
the public will be remembered by many in Grapevine and I join them in 
congratulating him on not only heeding the call to serve, but for doing 
so with the devotion and passion he has exhibited for the past three 
decades.
  It is my honor to congratulate Sergeant Meador on his successful 
career and retirement.
