       CONGRATULATING THE RETIREMENT OF OFFICER ROBERT PEMBERTON

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PAT FALLON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 24, 2022

  Mr. FALLON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the outstanding 26-
year career of Officer Robert Pemberton and congratulate him on his 
retirement from the City of Greenville Police Department. Officer 
Pemberton is a remarkable example of the highest caliber of law 
enforcement professional and has demonstrated unwavering devotion to 
the department and community for over a quarter of a century.
  For most of his career, Officer Pemberton did not serve alone, as he 
was a K-9 officer. Impressively, the K-9 partners he worked alongside 
were just as exceptional. Officer Pemberton's first K-9 partner was a 
German Shepherd named Ceiko. His next police-dog partner was the 
Belgian Malinois named Rex. And his third and final K-9 partner was the 
Dutch Shepherd named Trap, with whom he retired alongside. Officer 
Pemberton and these world class canines were repeatedly recognized for 
outstanding performance in the detection and prevention of crime.
  Together, these duos worked tirelessly to protect and serve their 
community. Throughout his career, Officer Pemberton with his K-9 
partners seized of over $2,000,000 in cash, with their largest single 
seizure being $480,000. They were also responsible for recovering a 
myriad of drugs with a street value worth millions of dollars. The City 
of Greenville, Hunt County, and the North Texas area were undoubtedly 
safer with every shift Officer Pemberton worked.
  On behalf of the great people of Texas' Fourth Congressional 
District, I thank Officer Pemberton for all he has done for our 
community.
