RECOGNIZING DETECTIVE CHRISTOPHER DRURY OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF'S 
                               DEPARTMENT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Kiley) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. KILEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer congressional 
recognition to Detective Christopher Drury of the Sacramento County 
Sheriff's Department.
  Detective Christopher Drury began his career in 2011 and was hired as 
a deputy sheriff on call. He was assigned to the Sacramento County Main 
Jail. Detective Drury was hired as a full-time deputy sheriff in 2013, 
where he remained assigned to the main jail.
  In February 2015, Detective Drury was transferred to the Court 
Security Division, where he remained until he was transferred to the 
North Patrol Division in December 2015.
  Detective Drury was selected to the Rancho Cordova Police Department 
in 2017. The Rancho Cordova Police Department is a contracted city that 
is fulfilled by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. While assigned 
there, Detective Drury regularly interacted with the community during 
his shift and answered numerous calls for service.
  Detective Drury quickly became known for his tremendous work ethic 
and commitment to the community. His proactive enforcement of violent 
crime prevention was highly appreciated and noticed by his supervisors.
  In 2019, Detective Drury was selected to be a narcotics detective in 
the Impact Bureau. The Impact Bureau focuses on large-scale drug 
trafficking, which operates from Kern County to the Oregon border. 
Additional duties include the dismantling of drug clandestine labs.
  While assigned to the Impact Bureau, Detective Drury has worked 
several major narcotics investigations, which have led to the seizure 
of hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and 
fentanyl. He continues to dismantle large-scale drug trafficking 
organizations and positively interacts with the community in numerous 
ways.
  Despite having this very demanding position, in his off time, 
Detective Drury actively contributes to the community. He was a regular 
volunteer at his children's elementary school. He also volunteers for 
Sacred Heart Home Tour, which is an organization that raises charity 
proceeds to help individuals attend private Catholic school. The 
organization raises roughly $200,000 a year for the charity.
  Finally, Detective Drury is involved with the nonprofit Sponsoring 
True Advocacy for Challenged Youth, or STACY. This nonprofit is an 
organization advocating for children with special needs and their 
families through diverse programs and partnerships in the greater 
Sacramento area.
  Mr. Speaker, for these reasons and more, I am honored to include 
Detective Christopher Drury of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office 
in the Third District of California's Police Honor Roll.
