 HONORING DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY'S FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE

  (Ms. BOEBERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BOEBERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Department of 
Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service and its brave law 
enforcement officers for their essential role in protecting Federal 
facilities and the homeland.
  FPS law enforcement officers are on the front lines, defending 
Federal properties and the people who work in and visit them.
  I appreciate the sacrifices our FPS law enforcement officers make 
every day to protect Federal facilities and ensure the safety of 
Federal employees and visitors.
  Their dedication and commitment to safeguarding our Nation's critical 
infrastructure often go unnoticed, and their professionalism, courage, 
and selflessness are crucial to our homeland security.
  In my home State of Colorado, the fentanyl epidemic has devastated 
communities and stolen thousands of lives. FPS officers serve as a 
critical shield that is essential to intercepting fentanyl trafficking 
networks and stopping this weapon of mass destruction from reaching our 
families and neighborhoods.
  During National Police Week especially I am proud to introduce this 
resolution to honor the FPS, to recognize their service, to promote 
greater awareness for their important work, and to show our unwavering 
support for their vital mission.
  This resolution recognizes and appreciates the dedication of FPS law 
enforcement officers and extends gratitude to them and their families 
for their sacrifice and service, honors the memories of those who have 
fallen in the line of duty, and encourages continued collaboration.
