           RECOGNITION OF THE RETIREMENT OF SHERIFF DAN BEAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK BERGMAN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 3, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Sheriff Daniel 
Bean for his 42 years in law enforcement and congratulate him on his 
retirement. Sheriff Bean has served as the Sheriff of Antrim County for 
the past 15 years. Valiantly, he has protected and bettered his 
community every day on the job.
  Sheriff Bean began his distinguished service in law enforcement in 
1981 with the East Jordan Police Department before transferring to the 
Mancelona Department, where he spent 4 years as a deputy. In 1985, Dan 
transferred to the Antrim Police Department and worked tirelessly with 
the corrections and dispatch teams.
  Throughout his impressive career, Sheriff Bean served as a DARE 
Officer, a school liaison, a road patrol officer, and Undersheriff of 
Antrim County. In 2008, Dan finally made the decision to run for 
Sheriff of Antrim County, proceeding to win and hold the position with 
strength and humility until his retirement.
  Sheriff Bean's devotion to his coworkers and community remains 
unrivaled. He could often be found going above and beyond the call of 
duty to give back, including through his mentoring of students and 
volunteering to serve lunch at the Antrim County Commission on Aging. 
When asked why he didn't leave his strenuous line of work sooner, Dan 
said he didn't want to go anywhere else, for he loved his county.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Sheriff Dan Bean for his 42 
years of service and dedication to Antrim County. On behalf of 
Michigan's First District, I'd like to thank Sheriff Bean for his 
devotion to Antrim County and congratulate him on a well-deserved 
retirement.
