  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Dale 
Johnson for over 30 years of outstanding service to the Yolo County 
Sheriff's Office. Mr. Johnson has demonstrated his commitment to 
ensuring safety in the community of Yolo County as well as the United 
States through his service in law enforcement and the U.S. military.
  Mr. Johnson's career in law enforcement started on April 29, 1992 as 
a Deputy Sheriff. Notably, he was assigned to the Capay Augmented 
Patrol on January 22, 1995. The patrol is a specialized unit used to 
protect the community of Capay Valley and Cache Creek Casino. Mr. 
Johnson was the first deputy ever to be assigned to this patrol.
  Because of his outstanding work ethic, he earned the rank of 
Undersheriff on June 30, 2019. During his career, Mr. Johnson was 
recognized for his hard work and service to his community. Most notably 
among his many outstanding awards, he was named ``Deputy of the Year'' 
in 1995, recognized as a member of the ``Team of the Year'' in the 
Investigations section in 2005, and received a ``Certificate of 
Commendation for Dedicated Service'' in 2006.
  Serving others by providing safety and security has been a consistent 
part of Mr. Johnson's life. Outside of his local community, Mr. Johnson 
has proven his commitment to keeping all Americans safe through his 
service to the military. He served in the United States Army for six 
years and participated in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Desert 
Shield.
  Mr. Johnson is known by his family, colleagues, and community as a 
tireless leader committed to his profession and his role in protecting 
public safety. Even after retirement, he will continue to serve as an 
example for those around him to emulate.
  Madam Speaker, it is evident that Mr. Johnson has worked endlessly to 
serve his community through military service and his experience in law 
enforcement. Therefore, it is fitting and proper that we honor him here 
today.
