                       Monday, December 11, 2023

  Mr. DUARTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Officer Mark 
Frost, upon his retirement on December 1, 2023 for 27 years of 
dedicated service to the people of the State of California as a 
California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officer.
  Officer Frost began his journey in law enforcement in Sacramento at 
the California Highway Patrol Academy on December 2, 1996, and 
successfully graduated on June 6, 1997. Following his graduation, he 
was assigned as a California Highway Patrol Officer to the CHP Hayward 
Office.
  He later transferred to the Merced Office on October 1, 2001, where 
he served in various roles such as the union representative in the 
California Association of Highway Patrolmen (CAHP) for the CHP Merced 
Area, and as the CAHP District 3 Defense Representative.
  Additionally, Officer Frost was certified as an Emergency Medical 
Responder (EMR) and served as a CPR instructor. His expertise also 
extended to firearm safety as the Weapons Range Safety Officer.
  Showcasing his attention to detail and commitment to maintaining the 
integrity of the law enforcement process, he served as the Evidence 
Officer for the CHP Merced Office. His leadership qualities were 
further recognized as he assumed the responsibilities of Officer in 
Charge (OIC) and Acting CHP Sergeant for the Merced Area.
  Officer Mark Frost exemplifies the highest standards of duty and 
commitment to public service with his 27-year career as a California 
Highway Patrolman. Every day, he tirelessly strived to serve the people 
of the State of California, earning the admiration of myself and his 
local community in the Central Valley.
