       RECOGNIZING POLK COUNTY, FLORIDA LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANIEL WEBSTER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 2024

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Polk 
County Sheriff Grady Judd and the law enforcement officers who keep 
Polk County safe every single day.
  This week marks the annual observance of Police Week. Though we set 
aside one week a year to honor law enforcement, I encourage all 
Americans to join me not only this week, but every day, in recognizing 
the honor, courage, and commitment of America's law enforcement.
  Our law enforcement officers are heroes in the community. They keep 
us safe and are willing to put their lives on the line every day in the 
course of their duties. It is impossible to fully express our gratitude 
or adequately recognize the professionalism of the men and women who 
voluntarily put their lives on the line for our safety and security. It 
is with deep respect that we pause today to honor the memory of the 
heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion and made the ultimate 
sacrifice.
  I want to extend my sincere appreciation to all the law enforcement 
officers who bravely and selflessly serve Polk County. It is an honor 
to recognize them and all men and women in law enforcement.

                          ____________________
