         HONORING THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF SERGEANT GERALD DIXON

  (Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. BICE of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
and service of Sergeant Gerald Dixon of the Edmond Police Department.
  Sergeant Dixon has faithfully served our community for 32 years, 13 
of which he spent as a school resource officer.
  In his time as an SRO, Sergeant Dixon has had a long-lasting impact 
on countless students in Edmond. Years after graduating, students still 
recall how much his presence meant to them. Looked up to as a great man 
and a fixture of school, Sergeant Dixon's commitment to his community 
is evident.
  Not only has Sergeant Dixon's presence helped make school a safe 
place, but his leadership, warm spirit, and love for his job also made 
students comfortable. They confided their struggles in him, shared 
countless experiences, and are better off from having Sergeant Dixon 
serve in their school.
  Madam Speaker, Sergeant Dixon has dedicated his life to the community 
and made countless sacrifices to ensure the safety of our students and 
the public at large. I am truly honored and humbled to recognize Mr. 
Dixon, and I am grateful for his service and the legacy he leaves 
behind. I wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.
