        HONORING NEW MEXICO STATE POLICE OFFICER DARIAN JARROTT

  (Ms. HERRELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HERRELL. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor New Mexico State 
Police Officer Darian Jarrott.
  Officer Jarrott was shot and killed yesterday, February 4, after he 
stopped a vehicle while assisting with a Homeland Security 
investigation. He was 28 years old and leaves behind three children and 
a fourth on the way.
  Officer Jarrott joined the State police in 2015, after beginning his 
career as a transportation inspector with the New Mexico Department of 
Public Safety.
  He served his community with honor and distinction, and he was known 
among his colleagues to always have a smile on his face, no matter how 
tough a situation was.
  Officer Jarrott was someone who wanted to help people, someone who 
wanted to do the right thing and was loved by his community. We need 
more officers like him.
  We owe so much to Officer Jarrott and so many others who answer the 
call to duty and make the ultimate sacrifice.
  His death reminds us of the debt we owe the brave men and women who 
stand in the gap to protect us from evil. My prayers are with Officer 
Jarrott's family.
