                       HONORING LT. TYLER FAGGARD

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHUCK EDWARDS

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 21, 2024

  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Clay County, N.C. 
Lieutenant Tyler Faggard in recognition of his service.
  Lt. Faggard, a Clay County native, began his career in law 
enforcement as a Clay County Telecommunicator before becoming a 
commissioned Justice Officer. He went on to serve the citizens of 
neighboring Cherokee County as a Patrol Deputy before achieving the 
rank of Detective.
  In 2021 Lt. Faggard returned home and accepted a position with the 
Clay County Sheriff's Office as Patrol Lieutenant.
  Lt. Faggard's hard work ethic and commitment to his service led him 
to be recruited to his current position as a Clay County Task Force 
Officer attached to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. Lt. Faggard is 
wise beyond his years in law enforcement as it relates to investigative 
techniques. Throughout his career, he has been instrumental in reducing 
the flow of illicit drugs into the area.
  I thank Lt. Faggard for his brave and tireless service to Clay and 
Cherokee Counties.
