  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Daniel 
Eagle, an officer with the Clearlake Police Department. I have named 
Mr. Eagle as a Public Safety Hero of the Year for Lake County in 
California's 4th District as a result of his extraordinary 
selflessness, dedication and service to others.
  Mr. Eagle was born in Clearlake, California, and grew up in Lake 
County, California, graduating from Middletown High School in 2013. Mr. 
Eagle attended college in New Mexico where he obtained a bachelor's 
degree in criminal justice management.
  From an early age, Mr. Eagle had the desire to become a police 
officer and to help our community. Today, at the Clearlake Police 
Department, Mr. Eagle serves as a police officer, field training 
officer and canine handler. Mr. Eagle has been with his canine partner, 
Zeus, for several years now. Mr. Eagle is also the president of the 
Police Officer Association and enjoys working with local leaders on 
community improvement projects.
  Mr. Eagle has a passion for traffic enforcement and investigations. 
This includes infractions such as driving under the influence (DUI), 
stolen vehicles and traffic collisions. Mr. Eagle has conducted 
numerous DUI investigations which resulted in the prosecution of over 
25 DUI arrests. For his selfless work, Mr. Eagle received an award from 
Mothers Against Drunk Driving in 2023. Mr. Eagle was also presented 
with the Law Enforcement and Prosecution Recognition award. Mr. Eagle's 
dedication to our community continues as he strives to address traffic-
related issues within the city of Clearlake, making it a safer place to 
live, work and visit.
  Outside of his service, Mr. Eagle enjoys playing golf with friends, 
restoring vehicles and participating in off-road activities. Mr. Eagle 
is proudly married to Taylor Eagle and is the father of a 2-year-old 
daughter named Brinley.
  Mr. Speaker, we thank Mr. Eagle for his persistence, service and 
commitment to our community. Therefore, it is fitting and proper that 
we honor him here today.
