                    HONORING SHERIFF RICHARD COLEMAN

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sheriff 
Richard Coleman as Sheriff of the Year for South Georgia from the 
Georgia Association of Black County Officials.
  This statewide recognition is part of GABCO's annual tradition of 
highlighting county leaders whose work strengthens public service and 
advances opportunity across Georgia's 159 counties.
  Sheriff Coleman is a Savannah native, and he is a proud 30-year 
Georgia certified peace officer. He is a graduate of Sol C. Johnson 
High School, holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice 
administration, and has a master's degree in public administration.
  With extensive experience across all levels of law enforcement, 
Sheriff Coleman is a certified Georgia law enforcement executive 
administrator and a former chief of police.
  His distinguished career includes roles such as chief of internal 
affairs, assistant chief of police, and police operations commander.
  Sheriff Richard Coleman is committed to continuing his service for 
the people of Chatham County. I congratulate my friend on this well-
deserved honor.
