                       Tuesday, February 21, 2023

  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career of my 
friend, Lieutenant Nuno Tavares with the Placer County District 
Attorney's Office. Nuno has over 26 years of service in law enforcement 
and has had an exemplary career. I met Nuno 13 years ago when he was on 
the Board of Directors of the Placer County Deputy Sheriff's 
Association. We have had a great friendship over the years based on 
respect of the law, compassion and justice for victims, and public 
service. It was great to have Nuno and the DSA come by the California 
State Capitol when I was there. Later on, it was our pleasure to have 
Nuno and his family here to our Nation's Capital in Washington DC. I 
always enjoyed the times Nuno and I had to catch up, and to hear what 
our investigators and law enforcement deal with.
  Nuno has worked in law enforcement since 1995. He spent 10 years on a 
Narcotics Task Force and oversaw areas like Cold Cases, Homicides, 
Special Investigations, and the Special Projects Unit.
  It has been a pleasure knowing Nuno over the years. My 
congratulations to him in his retirement. I look forward to hearing 
what his plans are next. My best to Nuno and Jessica, and their 
children as they start this new chapter in their lives. God Bless Nuno 
and his family. God Bless the work he has done and the justice for 
victims he ensured. I thank him for his service to Placer County.
