                         Monday, August 3, 2026

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the 
great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize Miami-Dade Police 
Sergeant Thomas Philip Hixon who is retiring after 25 years of 
outstanding service to our community and to young men, as a mentor with 
the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project. I include in the Record the 
following proclamation:

       Whereas, Sergeant Hixon, a highly skilled and well-
     respected law enforcement officer, rose from the ranks of 
     police officer to investigator and to supervisor over his 25-
     year career;
       Whereas, Sergeant Hixon was assigned to the Homicide 
     Bureau, Robbery Bureau, the Public Housing and Urban 
     Development Unit, as well as the Carol City and Intracoastal 
     District, where he investigated thousands of criminal cases 
     that led to the successful prosecution of scores of 
     defendants;
       Whereas, Sergeant Hixon has received more than 80 letters 
     of commendation, was the recipient of the 2004 United States 
     Attorney's Office Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award, 
     and has received numerous other accolades, including the 
     Employee Excellence Award and Officer of the Month Award;
       Whereas, Sergeant Hixon has worked to make Miami-Dade 
     County safer for residents and visitors, and has helped to 
     improve the lives of the less fortunate;
       Whereas, Sergeant Hixon is a dedicated mentor with the 5000 
     Role Models of Excellence Project, working to improve the 
     odds for at-risk young; and
       Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson, 
     a Member of the United States House of Representatives, 
     representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida, 
     commend retiring Miami-Dade County Police Sergeant Thomas 
     Philip Hixon for his dedication, commitment and untiring 
     service to our community.
