             RECOGNIZING BILOXI CHIEF OF POLICE JOHN MILLER

  (Mr. EZELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. EZELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
career and well-earned retirement of the chief of police for the Biloxi 
Police Department, John Miller.
  A coast native, Chief Miller dedicated more than three decades of his 
life to protecting the people of Biloxi, Mississippi. He joined the 
department in 1990 as a patrol officer and quickly distinguished 
himself through hard work and leadership. Just 5 years later, he was 
selected for the Special Crimes Unit, where he rose through the ranks 
of sergeant and lieutenant serving in both the narcotics and criminal 
investigative units.
  In December of 2009, John Miller was named chief of police, a role he 
carried with integrity, humility, and an unwavering commitment to his 
officers and to the community. His compassion, dedication, and steady 
leadership were especially evident during one of the most challenging 
times in the history of the department and the city of Biloxi: 
Hurricane Katrina.
  Chief Miller set a tone for professionalism, resilience, and service 
that truly exemplifies what it means to be south Mississippi strong.
  On behalf of a grateful community, I thank him for his service and 
wish him and his family the very best in his retirement.
