                RECOGNIZING SERGEANT MELISSA DANGERFIELD

  (Mr. BEAN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, whether flying by with sirens 
wailing in those awesome cruisers or walking the neighborhood beat, we 
know we can depend on our local police for safety and security. It is 
even better when the officer has a familiar face.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of those familiar faces, 
Sergeant Melissa Dangerfield, for her extraordinary commitment and 
service to the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
  For 35 years, Sergeant Dangerfield has dedicated her career to the 
safety of Clay County, Florida. Sergeant Dangerfield began her journey 
in 1989 as a dispatcher and later became a sworn law enforcement 
officer, investigating crimes with the special victims unit.
  Since 2016, she has been imparting her knowledge as a professor by 
teaching at the St. Johns River State College Basic Law Enforcement 
Academy.
  Mr. Speaker, Clay County is a safer place thanks to the dedication of 
Sergeant Melissa Dangerfield.
  On behalf of Clay County and these United States, we extend our 
deepest appreciation for her 35 years of exemplary service.
