                        Tuesday, August 23, 2022

  Ms. SPANBERGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Chief Chris 
R. Jenkins on his 45th anniversary of service to Virginia with the 
Culpeper Police Department.
  On August 15, 1977, Chris Jenkins began his law enforcement career at 
age 18 serving the Town of Culpeper as a dispatcher. In the 45 years 
since, Chief Jenkins has honorably served his community and worked to 
make Culpeper a safer place to live and raise a family.
  Chief Jenkins was first appointed as the Culpeper Police Department's 
fifth Chief of Police in 2010. In this role, he has implemented many 
successful programs including a community policing model, mental health 
co-responders, and Body-Worn Cameras. Beyond his career, Chief Jenkins 
has also helped raise thousands of dollars for local non-profit 
organizations--such as Team Jordan, a coalition which supports suicide 
prevention and response in Culpeper--and served on multiple boards and 
committees to support his community. His dedication and integrity to 
make Culpeper a better place is inspiring and deserving of commendation 
and celebration.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating Chief Jenkins on 45 
successful years in law enforcement and a lifetime of making Culpeper a 
better place.
