                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 30, 2023

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
distinguished career of longtime law enforcement Officer L.C. 
``Buckshot'' Smith of the Camden Police Department. This week, at 93 
years old, Officer Smith will be retiring after over 60 years of 
invaluable service to the people of Camden, Arkansas.
  Officer Smith's dedication to protecting and serving the people of 
his community goes deeper than just his badge; it's in his heart. His 
true character has been evident through the relationships he's built 
within the community he's served for so long. Throughout his record-
long career, Officer Smith has treated everyone in Camden with the 
utmost fairness and respect. He's held the nickname ``Buckshot'' for 
most of his life, and everyone in Camden knows him as such.
  While he will surely be missed by the Camden Police Department, his 
60-plus years of service will be remembered forever. Officer Smith is a 
beloved member of the community, and his legacy will go down in history 
as one that was built on the Golden Rule to treat others as you would 
want to be treated.
  I'm proud to recognize Officer L.C. ``Buckshot'' Smith for his 
historic career in law enforcement, and I want to thank him for making 
such a deep and lasting impact on his community, the 4th District of 
Arkansas, and our country. I hope his record of service will be an 
inspiration to all who follow in his footsteps.
