                    RECOGNIZING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  (Mr. MANNION asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MANNION. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of National 
Police Week. Just this week, in my hometown of Syracuse, New York, 
police officers were shot in the line of duty, and, thankfully, they 
are recovering.
  In central New York, in the Mohawk Valley, there are names that mean 
a great deal to our community: Lieutenant Michael Hoosock of the 
Onondaga County Sheriff's Office, Officer Michael Jensen of the 
Syracuse Police Department, Investigator Wallie Howard, Jr., and 
trailblazers like Detective Gwen Dowdell. They are heroes and role 
models, all of them.
  Lieutenant Hoosock, Officer Jensen, and Investigator Howard were 
tragically killed in the line of duty. Detective Dowdell built trust 
and protected vulnerable neighbors. Their legacies remind us that law 
enforcement, at its best, is rooted in service, trust, and integrity. 
That is the kind of law enforcement that I know exists in New York's 
22nd Congressional District, professional departments with responsible 
leadership.
  To every officer, deputy, investigator, trooper, and law enforcement 
family across central New York and this country, I thank you.
