                        Wednesday, July 20, 2022

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Corporal Foyid 
Mockbil of Howell, Michigan on the occasion of his retirement from 
Dearborn Police Department. His 25 years of service to the Dearborn 
community are worthy of commendation.
  A graduate of Fordson High School, Corporal Mockbil was the first 
Yemeni American hired at the Dearborn Police Department, joining the 
team in 1997. Throughout his career, he has held various positions in 
the department including in Patrol Operations, Field Training, and on 
the SWAT Team as an operator. Additionally, he has served as an Honor 
Guard Member, School Resource Officer and as a plainclothes officer. At 
the time of his retirement, he was serving as Senior Officer of the 
Patrol Division on the night shift.
  From the halls of Dearborn's elementary schools to events throughout 
the community, Corporal Mockbil is a familiar face to generations of 
Dearborn residents. Known for his bravery, professionalism, and 
compassion, he was active in the ACCESS substance abuse program and a 
frequent volunteer at charity events all over Metro Detroit. A friend 
to all and a mentor to his peers, Corporal Mockbil has been a great 
representative of the department for almost 3 decades. All who have the 
pleasure of knowing him can attest to his infectious energy and joy. 
Despite being an officer, he never misses a chance to have fun and make 
memories. Corporal Mockbil resides in Howell, Michigan with his wife 
Marcie and their daughters Elayna and Elissa.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in congratulating 
Corporal Foyid Mockbil for his exemplary career at the Dearborn Police 
Department. I join with Corporal Mockbil's family, friends, and 
colleagues in extending my gratitude to him for his honorable service 
and thank him for his role in protecting our community and the people 
of Dearborn for over 2 decades. We wish him the best in retirement and 
lots of time spent with friends and family.
