  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor our Texas-24 Hometown 
Hero, Officer Joe Boyd, who dedicated 38 years of service to our 
community, including 15 years with the Coppell Police Department. 
Throughout his diligent career, Officer Boyd served as patrol officer, 
detective, and, most recently, devoted himself to protecting our youth 
as a School Resource Officer.
  Officer Boyd has also shown his commitment to North Texas outside of 
traditional police work, teaching firearm safety and women's self 
defense classes. He has always been a friendly face to the residents of 
his community, neighborhood, and city.
  I'd like to thank Officer Boyd for his commitment to protecting our 
community and congratulate him on a well-deserved retirement.
