  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions 
to the city of Paris,

[[Page E827]]

Texas by Mr. Bob Hundley. For over 45 years, Mr. Hundley served in the 
Paris Police Department.
  From a young age, Mr. Hundley had his mind set on pursuing a career 
in law enforcement and positively impacting his community. He first 
began working for the Tyler Police Department as a patrol officer in 
January of 1975. Shortly after, he relocated to the Paris Police 
Department and made it his life's mission to help his community through 
the best and worst of times. From assisting children in appalling 
situations to rescuing individuals in natural disasters, Mr. Hundley's 
commitment to selfless service has remained steadfast throughout the 
years. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the early 1990s and 
also served as the emergency management coordinator.
  Beginning in 2004, Mr. Hundley served as the assistant police chief 
and was later promoted to Chief of Police in 2009. For the next 11 
years, he led the charge to protect and serve North Texas during which 
he established a robust training program for future law enforcement 
officers. Moreover, Mr. Hundley created a Citizen's Police Academy to 
improve law enforcement outreach efforts to the public. Under his 
leadership, the Paris Police Department received 2 Recognized Law 
Enforcement Agency awards. At the time, only 66 out of Texas' 2,800 
police departments had received such an award. Many people who know Mr. 
Hundley would agree that his humble contributions to Paris have been 
invaluable, and his retirement on July 3, 2023, was well deserved after 
a lifetime of public service.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our Nation's 
Capital to recognize Mr. Hundley's lifetime of public service to the 
good people of North Texas. I wish him good health and the best of luck 
in his future endeavors.
