            RECOGNIZING JACKSON COUNTY SHERIFF JANIS MANGUM

  (Mr. COLLINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement of 
one of Georgia's finest law enforcement officers. Jackson County 
Sheriff Janis Mangum will be leaving the force at the end of this year, 
marking an end to an incredible and historic 39-year career.
  Since 1985, Sheriff Mangum has devoted her life to protecting the 
innocent, keeping dangerous criminals off our streets, and serving as a 
leader to the law enforcement officers in Jackson County and throughout 
Georgia.
  From her time as a radio operator to being elected as the second 
female sheriff in Georgia history, Sheriff Mangum leaves a legacy that 
saved countless lives and struck fear in the hearts of Georgia's 
criminals.
  She was named 2023 Georgia Sheriff of the Year, and has received so 
many accolades and awards for her hard work and dedication, that I 
truthfully do not have time to list them all.
  Know this, when there was a call to serve, she answered. On behalf of 
Georgia's 10th Congressional District, I thank her for her commitment 
to Jackson County and the sacrifices she has made to keep us safe. She 
will truly be missed.
