                         HONORING DARREN CRUZAN

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
honor Assistant Director Darren Cruzan for his outstanding career as 
assistant director for National Capital Region Training Operations at 
the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Law Enforcement Training 
Centers, FLETC, in Washington, D.C.
  Mr. Cruzan has had a long distinguished career as a Federal, local, 
and Tribal law enforcement official. His law enforcement career began 
in 1992, as a reserve patrol officer with the Joplin, Missouri Police 
Department. As he rose through the ranks of law enforcement from police 
officer to criminal investigator, Mr. Cruzan's service has always 
focused on the critical needs of Indian Country, especially law 
enforcement training for police, corrections, and telecommunications 
officers.
  In 2017, the Secretary of the Interior honored Mr. Cruzan with the 
Department of Interior's Distinguished Service Award, the highest 
recognition an employee within the Department can receive for his 
outstanding contributions.
  During his time, he has provided FLETC with tremendous executive 
leadership and management. Mr. Cruzan has dedicated his life to 
protecting others, and I thank him for his years of service.
