RECOGNIZING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK
(Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to recognize National Police
Week.
Our police officers put their lives on the line every single day they
go to work. They answer the call of duty on holidays, weekends,
birthdays, and through the COVID-19 pandemic to selflessly protect our
communities.
When I was chair of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, I
introduced a resolution to recognize Law Enforcement Appreciation Day
in Orange County because now, more than ever, we owe these brave
officers our support and appreciation.
I am especially grateful for our Capitol Police officers who have
been through so much this year with the devastating loss of multiple
officers in the line of duty.
Thank you to all police officers for your continued bravery. I and so
many others are proud to stand with you today and every day.
