                RECOGNIZING THE GOLDEN POLICE DEPARTMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BRITTANY PETTERSEN

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 5, 2025

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Golden Police 
Department of Golden, Colorado, for serving and protecting our 
community.
  We are all grateful to the Department and Chief of Police Joe Harvey, 
as they strive to maintain a culture of positive public engagement, 
equity, and compassion for all. Founded in 1874, the department has a 
long history of dedicated officers working to build public trust 
through accountability and equitable policing.
  National Police Week offers an opportunity to honor law enforcement 
and pay tribute to those who gave their lives serving their 
communities. This week, we honor Officer Evan Dunn, who was a member of 
the Golden Police Department, who tragically passed away in the line of 
duty in November 2024. Officer Dunn joined the Department after serving 
as an Army Aviator and Black Hawk pilot in the Missouri and Colorado 
Army National Guard. As a soldier, an officer, and a devoted husband, 
Officer Dunn was a servant in every aspect of his life. His legacy of 
kindness, dedication, and service to our community and our country will 
not be forgotten.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to thank the Golden Police Department for their devotion 
to public service in the line of duty.
