  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Detective Wan 
Lee upon his retirement after more than 31 years of dedicated service 
in law enforcement, including more than 30 years serving the Grapevine 
community.
  Detective Lee began his law enforcement career in 1995 with the Royse 
City Police Department before joining the Grapevine Police Department 
in 1996. Throughout his distinguished career with the Grapevine Police 
Department, Detective Lee served in Patrol and took on numerous 
specialized assignments. He served as a Field Training Officer, 
Firearms Instructor, and Defensive Tactics Instructor, helping train 
and mentor fellow officers. He also served on the SWAT Team and later 
joined the Motor Unit, where he became a certified Accident 
Reconstructionist.
  In 2014, Detective Lee began serving as a Task Force Officer with the 
Drug Enforcement Administration. During his time with the DEA, he 
became a certified member of the agency's Special Response Team and 
served on its high-risk warrant team.
  For more than three decades, Detective Lee has demonstrated 
professionalism, dedication, courage, and an unwavering commitment to 
protecting and serving others. His willingness to pursue specialized 
training, take on challenging assignments, and mentor fellow law 
enforcement professionals has left a lasting impact on the Grapevine 
Police Department and the communities he has served.
  As Detective Wan Lee begins his well-earned retirement, I extend my 
sincere gratitude for his many years of service to our community and 
congratulate him on an exceptional career in law enforcement.
