 CONGRATULATING DETECTIVE TIMOTHY METZGER FOR HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE 
                     ROCK ISLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 30, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Detective 
Timothy Metzger, who is retiring from the Rock Island Police Department 
after 28 years of service. His last day was Friday, November 12.
  Detective Timothy Metzger joined the Rock Island Police Department in 
December 1992. A graduate of Blackhawk College and Western Illinois 
University, Detective Metzger reported to duty each day with impeccable 
work ethic and compassion for the neighbors he strived to protect. 
After nearly 20 years, his peers and principals rewarded him for his 
commitment to the City of Rock Island by promoting him to Detective of 
the Police Department. For almost 10 years, Detective Metzger has 
handled every facet of investigations conducted by the Police 
Department. He specialized in computer, cellphone, and video forensics 
and helped with the Illinois Attorney General Internet Crimes Against 
Children Task Force at a local level. When he was not putting himself 
in harm's way, he enjoyed giving back to the area he served, helping 
coach youth softball and baseball teams in Rock Island.
  It is because of committed and honorable leaders such as Detective 
Metzger that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th 
Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I would like to, again, formally 
congratulate Detective Timothy Metzger on his retirement and thank him 
for his 28 years of service to our community.
