  Mr. TRONE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise before you to honor the 
remarkable tenure of Montgomery County Department of Police Chief, 
Marcus Jones and celebrate his well-earned retirement. For nearly four 
decades, Chief Jones has dedicated his career to enhancing public 
safety and fostering positive relationships within our community.
  Appointed as Chief in November of 2019, Chief Jones has demonstrated 
unwavering commitment and leadership. He began his career with the 
Department in September of 1985, working his way up the ranks, 
including serving as the Assistant Chief of the Investigative Services 
Bureau, Commander of the 3rd District, Director of Major Crimes, and 
Drug Enforcement Commander.
  Chief Jones has been instrumental in implementing innovative policing 
strategies and ensuring the safety and security of Montgomery County 
residents. His efforts have been recognized by his induction into the 
Montgomery County Human Rights Hall of Fame in 2020. As a member of the 
Major Cities Chiefs Association, the Maryland Chiefs Association, the 
Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), and the International 
Association Chiefs of Police (IACP), Chief Jones' decades-long effort 
to improve the lives of his officers and the Marylanders they have 
sworn to protect is appreciated by countless members of his community.
  It is a privilege to acknowledge Chief Marcus Jones' service and 
dedication as he embarks on his next chapter. His legacy will inspire 
future leaders and continue to benefit the Montgomery County community 
for years to come.
