                        Wednesday, June 15, 2022

  Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Chief George 
Turegano for his service to the Central Valley and over 40 years of law 
enforcement experience.

  After 16 years of service to the Capitola Police Department, Chief 
Turegano began his service to the Central Valley on August 1, 2012, 
after a unanimous decision by the Huron City Council. Throughout his 
career, he has found success in multiple positions in different 
departments. This includes solving a 1972 homicide case, the 
department's oldest, in 2007.
  Under his leadership, the Huron Police Department has exceeded 
expectations. Chief Turegano helped obtain grants that would add police 
officers for community outreach, prevent tobacco sales to minors, and 
purchase an ambulance as well as an ambulance facility. Chief Turegano 
coordinated the location and funding for a Boys & Girls Clubs of 
America facility in Huron and has created employment opportunities for 
high school students at the Harris Ranch Inn & Restaurant.
  Chief Turegano's dedication, leadership, and commitment to excellence 
serves as an incredible model for all those who will follow in his 
footsteps.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in recognizing Chief George Turegano for his 
lifetime of service.
