  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor our Texas-24 Hometown 
Heroes, Southlake Officers Brett Roberson and Corey Rattan who have 
gone above and beyond to serve North Texas students. As first 
responders, the selfless duo from Carroll ISD have embodied the spirit 
of North Texas' School Resource Officer (SRO) community through

their dedication to ensuring safe school environments.
  The Southlake Kiwanis presented the officers with the distinguished 
Heart of Service Award in recognition of their efforts to improving the 
lives of children. After receiving nominations from community members, 
the Southlake Kiwanis also recognized Officer Roberson of Carroll 
Middle School as 2023 SRO of the Year and Officer Rattan of Carroll 
Senior High School as 2024 SRO of the Year.
  The Carroll Middle School administration did not fall short in 
praising Officer Roberson for her profound impact on the school 
community, highlighting her support on all ends, spanning personal and 
emergency needs. In the same spirit, Carroll Senior High School 
principal Christina Benhoff applauded Officer Rattan as a jack of all 
trades who serves not only as a mentor but also as a friend and role 
model to students.
  I'm grateful for our North Texas law enforcement community, 
especially SROs Roberson and Rattan, who are instrumental in keeping 
our schools safe and supporting students.
