  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Chief Ryleigh Carr, 
School Resource Officer at Culver Community Schools in Indiana, for her 
exceptional dedication and service to her school and community.
  Chief Carr has recently been sworn in as Chief of the Community 
Police Department, becoming the first female to hold that position in 
the department's history. Her appointment marks a milestone in 
leadership and public service in the town of Culver. This new role only 
amplifies her impact on the community she has long served with 
distinction.
  She has also been awarded the Regional Exceptional Service Award for 
Region 5--which includes Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, and Iowa. 
This prestigious honor, presented at the national level, recognizes 
individuals who demonstrate sustained and extraordinary service to 
their school communities, going above and beyond the expectations of 
their roles.
  In addition to her duties as School Resource Officer and now Chief of 
Police, Chief Carr also serves as a coach and as President of the 
Culver Community Athletic Boosters. Her multifaceted engagement speaks 
to a deep and ongoing commitment to fostering a safe, supportive, and 
enriching environment for students and families alike.

  Chief Carr's outstanding service will be formally recognized at the 
2025 National Association of School Resource Officers' National School 
Safety Conference this July in Grapevine, Texas.
  I thank Chief Carr for her leadership, service, and for exemplifying 
the highest standards of community and public safety.
