  Ms. SANCHEZ. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Chief Brad Keller, a 
dedicated public servant for the city of Montebello. Chief Keller is 
retiring after 31 years of service to his community and the Montebello 
Police Department.
  Chief Keller began his law enforcement career with the Montebello 
Police Department in 1991, after graduating from Rio Hondo College 
Police Academy.
  Throughout his career, Chief Keller's work in the community was 
recognized through multiple promotions, until eventually becoming 
Montebello's 10th Police Chief in 2018. Through his advanced leadership 
and peace officer training, Chief Keller recognized that protecting a 
community also requires an increased understanding of the diversity of 
the community.
  While Chief Keller always sought to protect and serve his community, 
he took care to do so while maintaining a relationship of trust and 
respect with the citizens of Montebello.
  Notably, Chief Keller was awarded the Medal of Courage and the Medal 
of Merit in 2000 and the Medal of Lifesaving in 2003.
  Chief Keller dedicated his life to serving Montebello, and he leaves 
behind a legacy that will inspire current and future public servants.
