                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 15, 2022

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the significant 
career and accomplishments of Robert T. Doyle on the occasion of his 
retirement as Marin County Sheriff following nearly 53 years of 
exemplary service at the Sheriff's Office.
  A Bay Area native and Marin County resident for five decades, Sheriff 
Doyle has dedicated his life and career to the public good. In 1966, he 
enlisted in the United States Army, serving stateside in California and 
Oklahoma, and overseas in Germany and Vietnam. Three years later, he 
left the Army to settle in Marin, joining the Sheriff's Office in 
November 1969.
  Since 1969, Sheriff Doyle has excelled in a variety of roles across 
the Patrol, Custody, and Court Divisions, rising from the rank of 
Deputy Sheriff to Captain. He commanded both the Southern Marin Patrol 
Station and the Marin County Jail before being appointed Undersheriff 
in December 1988. In March 1996, he was then appointed to be Sheriff of 
Marin County. He went on to win reelection to the role six successive 
times. Throughout his tenure, he has stood out as a true leader in the 
community, always focusing on doing what was best for Marin County and 
its residents.
  Sheriff Doyle's stewardship of the law enforcement profession 
extended outside of his official role in government. He served as 
President of the California State Sheriffs' Association, two-term 
President of the Marin County Police Chiefs' Association, and Chair of 
the California State Sheriffs' Legislative Committee. He was appointed 
by Governor Schwarzenegger to serve as a member of the Commission on 
Peace Officer Standards and Training, and by Governor Wilson to 
represent the State Sheriffs on the State Task Force on Court 
Facilities. He has diligently supported other community causes, serving 
as the Novato Youth Soccer Association Treasurer and as a member of the 
Fight Crime: Invest in Kids California Executive Committee.
  Madam Speaker, Sheriff Robert T. Doyle's career is a sterling example 
of public service and dedication to the law and community. Please join 
me in honoring Sheriff Doyle on his retirement, and in wishing him the 
best of luck in future endeavors.
