                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 14, 2022

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Deputy Chief 
Brian Johnson, who is retiring from the Moline Police Department after 
22 years of service.
  Deputy Chief Johnson's career in law enforcement began in January 
2000 when he joined the nearby Silvis Police Department, where he 
stayed for two years. His father, a former Sergeant in the East Moline 
Police Department, helped steer him toward a career in public safety. 
He became an officer in the Moline Police Department in February 2002. 
Always looking to rise above the call of duty in protecting and serving 
his neighbors, Deputy Chief Johnson worked his way through the ranks. 
He served as Patrol Officer, Street Crimes Detective, Patrol Sergeant, 
Juvenile Investigations Sergeant, Patrol Lieutenant, Accreditation and 
Standards Lieutenant and Operations Captain, before being promoted to 
Deputy Chief in 2021. He is a graduate of Kewanee High School in 
Kewanee, Illinois, Western Illinois University, and Northwestern 
Illinois University's School of Police Staff and Command. Deputy Chief 
Johnson's contributions to the Quad Cities community will never be 
forgotten.
  It is because of noble and fearless leaders such as Deputy Chief 
Brian Johnson that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th 
Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I would like to again, formally 
congratulate Moline Police Department Deputy Chief Brian Johnson on his 
retirement and thank him for his 22 years of service to our community.
