  Mr. HURD of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bob Brammer 
of Durango, Colorado, for his exceptional dedication and service to the 
Durango community. Bob Brammer served with the Durango Police 
Department for 21 years, including six years as Chief of Police. During 
his tenure, he led initiatives to strengthen the department's ability 
to protect public health and safety--expanding crisis deescalation 
programs and improving access to emergency response kits in public 
buildings.
  In 2024, Mr. Brammer was appointed Assistant City Manager by the 
Durango City Council, a testament to his leadership and enduring 
commitment to public service. Throughout his career, Bob Brammer has 
exemplified the values of integrity, compassion, and community 
engagement that make Durango such a special place to live. His efforts 
have not only improved public safety but also built lasting trust 
between law enforcement and the citizens they serve.
  Mr. Brammer continues to serve with distinction, earning the Mothers 
for Awareness and Prevention of Drug Abuse Leadership Award for his 
tireless efforts to protect families and prevent drug abuse.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Mr. Brammer for his 
steadfast dedication and continued leadership in the Durango community.
